Our winter white sharks are now back in full swing! Not long after arriving at the anchor site we were joined by our first shark, a very inquisitive juvenille. The water clarity was stunning so our divers got spolied! Next to arrive were a few larger sharks including a 4 meter female with a distinctive patch of copepods on her head and dorsal fin. These little critters attach on to the sharks dermis to hitch a ride, they are a type of parastiic crustacean and they carry their eggs in a tail like structure. Our divers had some excellent cage views and were even joined by a hagfish briefly! Bird life was equally as prolific with a White-chinned petrel and a few tiny storm petrels dancing in the wind. A great day all round!
