Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Good

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Cape fur seals, Short-tail stingray, African penguins + Southern Right whale

Trip Summary: A calm afternoon on the water, spiced up by our marine life! Departing from Kleinbaai harbour, we encountered our first wildlife of the day, the critically endangered African penguins. At the dive site, Bronze whaler sharks made sure we were in good company, with mature females offering all divers and observers an up close sighting. The sightings on anchor also included Cape fur seals as well as the impressive Short-tail stingray! Departing the dive site, we made our way back towards the harbour, wrapping up the day with a mother and calf pairing of seasonal visitors, the Southern Right whales. Thank you to everyone who joined us on board, it was a pleasure sharing our marine life with you!
