We had a lovely first tour of the day, spending our time with some gorgeous Copper Sharks who were curious enough to check out our boat. We launched at 8:30 and set sail to the shallows. It was a beautiful sea day although we did start the day off with a bit of wind from the east. We did a bit of waiting for our first Copper Shark to arrive, with a large animal being the first to appear. We got to see the coppers investigate the bait, with some approaching from the side whilst others took more sneaky approach, coming up from below. We dived all of our divers, rewarding them with hot chocolate after having been in the chilly water. Once everyone had had an opportunity to get into the water with these majestic creatures, we slowly made our way back into the harbor to pick up our next group of clients.

As we arrived at our dive-site for our second trip, and our guests climbed into their wetsuits, several coppers sharks came by. Our divers quickly jumped into the cage, as the copper sharks displayed their beautiful colours in the midday sun. Far away on the waters, a southern right whale passed us. Within the last hour of the trip, we were visited by not one, but two great white sharks. First a small 2.5m white shark came around and showed her face, before not long afterwards a large 4.5 m female rose up from the depths and astonished our guests with her size. By the end of the trip our guests left with another beautiful memory.
