Depth: 9.7m

Number of Sharks: 9
Conditions: Sunny and windy.

The water temperature is warmer than it has been in quite a while; this made it easier for everyone in the cage. Our first shark today was an acoustically tagged shark and it was big, around the 4 meter margin. This shark was followed by several smaller individuals and it was at this time that a Cape Fur seal took a chance to make an appearance! I would be lying if I said that everyone on board wasn’t hoping to see some action take place :)! It was very special to see how the seal chased the fish and the sharks on their turn chased the seal and so the circle of life continues. All in one trip, awesome…
