Trip 1.


We had a beautiful and unexpected start to our first trip today when we came across a pod of Bottlenose Dolphins straight out of the harbour!


They put on quite a show for our guests!


We didn't have to wait too long for the amazing Bronze Whaler sharks to join us once we were at our dive site.


And our brave divers wasted no time getting in the water!


Big smiles from inside the cage today.


We got some great close-up action!


Our guests got some unrivaled views from inside the cage!


Enjoying the cage diving experience.


Incredible colours on the Bronze Whaler sharks.


A perfect adventure to share with friends!


We were also incredibly fortunate to come across a Mola Mola (Sunfish) when returning to the harbour!


That's all for our first trip of the day! A massive thank you to all who joined the Marine Dynamics team, it was a pleasure having you on board!

Trip 2.


The Bronze Whaler action continued on our second trip of the day.


Braving the cool Atlantic waters for the beautiful Bronze Whaler sharks.


Loving the Bronze Whaler action!


This lovely female made numerous passes by the cage!


Our brave divers enjoying the cage!


Thumbs up for the Bronze Whaler sharks!


The brilliant shark action more than made up for the cooler waters.


We enjoyed a beautiful sunset when returning to the harbour and got to enjoy an impressive flock of Cape Cormorants!


And our luck continued when we came across multiple Bryde's Whales!


Such a special sight for both our guests and crew alike.


Many thanks to all the wonderful people that joined us for their shark cage diving adventure, we hope you all enjoyed your day with us!
