After doing a prelaunch weather check as well as an inspection of our dive site with our smaller boat “Calypso”, we were good to go sharking! We scheduled an afternoon trip today in order to avoid the majority of the swell and wind, but we still had a bit of a drizzle nonetheless. We had a very large female Great White, 4.5 meters; around the boat she came very close at times and on several occasions. I was handling the seal decoy today and she gave me a surprise numerous times. I will see whether or not our skipper captured a few extra shark pictures which I will then add to the blog at a later stage. Great sharks today, even though they were off and on at times, but it’s always great seeing them. Let’s see what tomorrow has in store…
