The weather had the day looking gloomy for us this morning, but the rain died down just as we were launching and started our trip off with a beautiful rainbow! It was nice to see that we had some decent visibility back today unfortunately it came with the colder waters, but all the divers agreed the experience was worth the cold! We had one shark in particular that was working very well with us. She was on the larger side at 3.7m and was constantly turning in front of the cage for a fantastic view, even treating some of the divers to a once in a lifetime nose-to-nose encounter! “Ninja” also turned up, and was being a lot calmer than usual, providing the divers in the cage with almost slow motion passes. She saved all her energy for the grand finale, giving us some of her half breaches right towards the end of the trip! “Ninja” always ensures that everyone goes home with a big smile…
