The new week is here, but were the white sharks?! On our first trip this morning, we were the first on the water and had the cage in the water pronto. As soon as our guests had their wetsuits on we had copper sharks around the boat! So in we got and up close and personal happened! These sharks are truly awesome when they come so close to the cage. With patches of slow activity this morning we wondered whether the white sharks were ready for the week like we were. Unfortunately it turned out they were still in a bit of a weekend funk, with no sightings on this trip.

Our second trip today headed right back to the shallows, and guess what we got coppery again! We had at least 10 different sharks at the surface at one point on this trip, they seemed up and ready to play! So our divers got some excellent action right in front of the cage! We had a very brief glimpse of a white shark on this trip, the same pale individual from the previous couple o days. Seems to be a tad shy around Slashfin!

For the third trip we had another hectic trip with our copper sharks again with 10 copper sharks popping up all at once! With another glimpse of the white shark from the second trip, we were a happy bunch of cage divers.
