Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks, Seven-gill shark, Cape fur seal, Short-tail stingrays, Common dolphin, African penguins, Bryde's whale 

Trip Summary: Heading out to sea in amazing weather was a huge pro for our divers today! Once we anchored and the divers got into the wet suit the first Bronze whaler shark appeared. Step by step some other individuals came in to observe our divers in the cage. Several passes were made before a Seven-gill shark decided to join. Not just the Seven-gill shark made an extra appearance, but also a sneaky Cape fur seal made its way from the island over to the Shallows to show off in front of the cage! Additionally, two very large stingrays made their appearance in front of the cage, allowing themselves to be watched very closely. The group of divers on the second expedition was especially lucky: toward the diving point, a few minutes after leaving the harbor they spotted 2 Common dolphins and 2 African penguins, swimming around looking for food. And as a cherry on top of the cake on the way back we spotted, against all expectations, a beautiful Bryde's whale! What a great day for our divers who were lucky enough, not only to dive with sharks but also to see all the Marine Big 5! Thanks to everyone!
