The trip started off with “Nemo” visiting us within minutes of setting up the cage today.  Once we got the first eight divers in the cage the sharks just kept coming! One of the clients was very apprehensive about getting in the water with Great Whites but once she was in the cage and viewing the sharks from underwater she realized just how graceful and majestic these creatures are and hence decided to nickname one of the smaller ones “Lavender”.  We also saw a SPOT tagged shark today, she just gave us a few quick passes before heading on her way so it was difficult to identify her but it looked like it could have been a shark known as “Lyla Grace”.  The same acoustic tagged shark that we saw yesterday with a large bite mark on his tail which took off the top of his caudal fin was back today.  This is a shark known as “Anikan” who was tagged around September 2012; he was one of the more active sharks today, lunging for the bait line time after time.  It was a fantastic day out on the water…-Helen
