Trip Summaries:

Trip 1.

A bright and beautiful day out in the bay, and we enjoyed some great conditions for shark cage diving. The first trip had just finished anchoring when a Cape fur seal popped up alongside us and spent much of the rest of the trip darting around the Bronze whaler sharks, the first of which appeared not too long after the seal. The shark sightings were consistent throughout the trip with a high number of individuals seen, and a high level of activity exhibited by these individuals. Guests enjoyed up close and personal views as the sharks cruised around in front of the cage as did the crew and guests onboard with some fantastic surface action. A big thank you to all our guests that joined us, we hope you enjoyed your time on the sea with the sharks and the Marine Dynamics team!

















Trip 2.

We were a smaller but very excited group for the last trip today! The visibility was great even tho the westerly wind was picking up something our guest and crew were aware of! As som as we anchored our guest quickly got into their wetsuits with no problem and was ready for the cage dive experience, With the Bronze whaler sharks! We also got a surprise when a Broadnose sevengill shark showed up and stayed close by for a few minutes! On our way back to the harbor we spotted a pod of Bottlenose dolphins which was a great bonus to the end of our trip!









Thanks to all our guests for joining us today!
