Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Low

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks + Short-tail stingray + Bottlenose dolphins

Trip Summary: This weekend started pretty early for our divers! But it was certainly worth it! With a beautiful sunrise, within minutes of leaving the harbour, beautiful Sub-antarctic skuas started approaching our Slashfin boat! These curious seabirds got a pretty close look at themselves! Once we anchored at the diving spot "The Shallows" after a short wait the first Copper sharks (also called Bronze Whaler sharks) started to approach our cage. All our divers were amazed by their size and curiosity! In fact, this time again they came very close to us, showing off their beauty and leaving everyone spellbound! A very large short-tail stingray made its appearance from the sandy bottom. Its size astounded everyone! At the end of the second trip, a fast Cape Fur Seal also made an appearance! So many marine encounters in the ocean today! Our third trip of the day started off a little slow however it wasn't long into our first cage when the activity picked up and we had multiple Bronze Whaler sharks around. This was also seen for our second cage with our guests enjoying views of these stunning sharks both above and below water. We were also graced with the sighting of a Short-tail stingray along with a fantastic surprise sighting of a pod of Bottlenose dolphins moving by the boat. A fantastic afternoon out on the bay. Thank you to all our guests that joined the Marine Dynamics team today!
