Two more successful shark trips today! We began by trying Dyer Island for sharks on the first trip, as the perfect wind conditions were blowing. After a long wait, Helen Pattullo recorded one shark which disappeared quickly. The decision was made to move to the inshore site again where the rest of the days diving took place. 5 Sharks were sighted on trip 1 and 7 sharks on trip 2 along with the stingray again! One shark measuring 3.2m had a white acoustic tag. We think this transmitter may have been deployed in Port Elizabeth by Dr. Malcolm Smale and his team, we are waiting for confirmation from photos taken by Helen and I. Just another indication of how far these animals transit on a regular basis, and how lucky we are to see (let alone dive with) them!

If you are looking to get up close and personal with the great white shark then Great White Shark Cage Diving in Gansbaai, and more specifically with Marine Dynamics, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won’t want to miss.
