It was an extremely diverse day, with heaps of different wildlife to be seen! The start to our day was early in order to avoid the afternoon’s weather that was scheduled to come in and the wind definitely started to howl later on in the trip. The sharks were a bit stubborn today and kept us waiting for quite some time; this was however not a problem. We had an amazing bunch of people on board and the weather was great, it seemed to be a social gathering of a bunch of mates. The sharks did arrive eventually and everyone had their turn in the cage. Even our volunteers braved the cold waters as a final good bye just before they embarked on their future endeavours. The hagfish today certainly scared people more than the sharks did, that was hilarious, thanks for the great laughs guys! Finally to end things off, we stumbled upon a ‘bait ball’ of fish which were being harassed by gulls from above- and snoek from below water. An amazing spectacle…
