What the heck was going on today? We saw everything out at sea today, except for an empty coke bottle falling from the sky! The sharks kept us waiting for about 20 minutes today, but not to worry what was to follow no one could have expected. We saw 9 sharks in total with the largest being “Matilda” at 4.2 meters. Our new shark with the propeller wound to its tail was given the name “Shredder” (from the Ninja Turtles) by one of our clients, although it’s a nasty thing to see, I do believe the name to be appropriate. We also had a massive stingray chase our seal decoy around as if were its own personal play thing. Thereafter we treated our clients with a trip to Shark Alley. Along the way we spotted several African Penguins as well as something very bizarre. A client as well as one of our volunteers sighted what seemed to be a Hammer Head shark in the water; this is definitely not a common occurrence. We have been experiencing some warm water conditions which could explain the sighting. After seeing the massive seal colony at Geyser Rock we made our way back towards Kleinbaai harbour. Just outside of the harbour we encountered a pod of Humpback dolphins; if this wasn’t special enough they also had a young calf which was the smallest dolphin I’ve seen in my life! A truly special day…
