Who needs Silver and Gold when we’ve got a Bronze frenzy! The first trip of the day started with beautiful conditions on the water, with stunning visibility (for us!!). We had a fairly up and down trip with the copper sharks coming and going, but when they showed up, all 5 individuals were keen to check out our cage divers. With some lovely passes close to the cage the clear waters enabled our divers to have some fantastic sightings in the cage.

The second trip saw more, yup that’s right more copper sharks with around 10 different individuals popping up all at once. We had consistently good activity through this trip with many happy divers bobbing up and down in the cage.

Our third trip was an exclusive group of three from Argentina. Although the wind had picked up a little by this point the copper sharks were not deterred. With 14 that’s right 14 sharks all at the surface at once, we had a true sharky spectacle on our hands! We had stunning activity throughout this dive, and although we had no white sharks this trip, we had a quick trip to the island to go check out the seals.
