Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, SHort-tail stingrays, Cape fur seals + African penguins

Trip Summary: Finishing off another month on the water! An early launch for our guests today, but favourable conditions awaited us in the bay as we launched from the local Kleinbaai harbour. At the dive site, guests were soon in their wetsuits and ready to get into the cage, blessed with the quick arrival of the Bronze whaler sharks. Mature individuals ensured all were able to have great views of these graceful sharks. Additionally, the Short-tail stingrays made a pass, showing off their sheer size and elegance in the water.  After diving, we paid a visit to Shark Alley, viewing the many thousands of Cape fur seals at Geyser Rock and the African penguins at their natural nesting colony on Dyer Island, before returning to the harbour. Thank you to everyone who joined, it was a pleasure having you on board Slashfin!
