Out to the shallows this morning in search of shark! We had sharks here and there to start off the trip, with some copper sharks cruising around the surface! In an attempt to try and get a white shark we changed our anchor position quickly and tried a new spot. We got some more good activity with the copper sharks and even got ourselves a very curious short tailed stingray. Unfortunately our efforts were thwarted on this trip as we didn’t manage to find a great white, yet every cage got lovely activity from the copper sharks!

Soon we were out at sea again and heading out for our second trip. Once we arrived our crew quickly attached the cage to the vessel and our divers climbed into their wetsuits. We were soon visited by a couple of Copper sharks, and not much later a small white shark popped up her head for a few passes. The shark activity was absolutely amazing as our divers saw the sharks pass by. Later we were surprised by a big white shark that came suddenly up out of nowhere. A short-tailed stingray briefly came up for a visit as well. With the beautiful weather and the fantastic diversity, it turned into a great day out at sea.
