What a beautiful day for the last day of March and a little bit of shark cage diving. The sun was shining, the sea was flat and the sharks were fast and fintastic! Our morning trip had two sharks within 20 minutes of arriving however these individuals were not fussed on sticking around and quickly moved on. No worries they made way for “Little Rosie”, the name comes from the white coloured natural pigmentation that is seen on her dorsal fin that is referred to as a rosie! This little female provided much of the excitement for the first trip and kept all on board on their toes. The second trip started of stunningly as we made our way into the shallows and immediately saw a White Shark cruising along the surface. Once anchored we had “Little Rosie” turn up and she stuck with us for the entirety of the trip, becoming recognisable by those on board. We had many of the juvenile individuals that we have seen frequenting the boat recently however our largest shark of the day was a female approximately 3.6m in length with some parasite patches present on her head that came in quickly, making multiple passes by the cage and breaking the surface of the water dramatically. A spectacular day spent out in the sun…
