Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail stingray, Cape fur seal, Broadnose Sevengill shark

Trip Summary:  A little swell did not stop us from seeing beautiful wildlife today! We departed from Kleinbaai harbor this afternoon and made our way straight to the Shallows. Divers on the second trip were lucky enough to spot a beautiful specimen of Mola mola, Sunfish. The heaviest fish in the ocean, staying on the surface of the water, allowed itself to be admired up close. Once we were anchored our divers wasted no time preparing for the cage. After a little waiting the beautiful Bronze whaler sharks made an appearance to the delight of everyone on board. These animals made numerous passes by the cage giving our divers some unrivaled views! We were also fortunate to have a Short-tail stingray and Cape fur seal check out our divers, such a welcome visitor to the boat. To end the day on a high note, a Sevengill shark checked our divers in the cage very closely. The whole team of divers and non-divers were lucky enough to get a close look at this other shark species. What an incredible day! Thanks to everybody who joined us today!
