We had a slow start to our first trip, and a bit of a lag in shark activity in the middle of the second trip, but patience is a virtue and it paid off in the end as both trips finished with some really fantastic activity from the Great Whites. The highlight of our first trip was definitely the 5.2m shark that came to visit; this shark didn’t only have length but also girth, truly a beautiful shark! We were also lucky enough in the morning to view two Humpback Dolphins swimming off in the distance. We did change the location of our dive site for the second trip from Joubertsdam to Geldsteen, this gave us roughly the same shark activity with much improved visibility! It was a 3.8m female who came nearer the end of the afternoon trip and stole the show, she just kept turning and turning, going between the bait line and the decoy right till the end! It’s trips like today that really emphasize cage diving is for EVERYBODY! We went from having a family with two young girls dive on the first trip to having a family with three generations on the second trip, including an 81 year old grandfather who jumped in the cage with no hesitation! It was without doubt a beautiful day to be out sea…- Helen
