Trip 1.


A great start to the day with the Bronze whalers showing up just after our guests had gotten into their wetsuits.


The shark activity was fantastic as we experienced some stunning surface and subsurface approaches.


A great family experience! 


This individual has been seen a few times before but did not stick around for much of the trip.


Up close and personal shark encounters from the safety of the cage!


Some of our local guests enjoying their first shark experience.


Not to be outdone by the sharks this little Cape fur seal was seen frequently throughout the morning.


Even though the wind picked up for the day we still had a golden time in the sun with these sharks.


A big thank you to all our guests. We hope you had an awesome morning on the sea with the MD team!

Trip 2.


What a stunning encounter our second trip had with this Bronze whaler shark.


The activity continued nicely throughout the trip as the Bronze whalers kept in view.


All smiles for this cage diver as he prepares to enter the cage.


This little Cape fur seal was still around for our second trip of the day.


A clear view of the beautiful colour that gives this shark species its name.


Thank you for joining us for your shark experience!
