Trip Summary: An amazing start of the day for the divers and non-divers who joined us today on Slashfin! The day was beautiful: excellent sea conditions and marine animal sightings that did not disappoint anyone. Immediately on the outward ride, hungry Sub-antarctic skuas approached the boat, getting a closer look.  Once we arrived at the diving spot, many female copper sharks immediately circled us. Beautiful and enormous they once again amazed the whole group of divers. Very curious short-tail stingrays visited us by getting closer than expected to the cage. What incredible luck to be able to admire it so closely! A curious Cape Fur seal also made an appearance, spinning quickly around the cage. Thanks again to everyone who was with us today, it's always a pleasure to be able to show you up close the incredible marine biodiversity that inhabits these waters!
