The diver’s who joined us today were given a little bit of a sleep in this morning with a late launch planned due to weather and tides. We may have had a late start this morning but the sharks were on time, with our first shark spotted only 15 minutes after arrival and once this shark had made its presence known it was as if all the other sharks followed with the next few animals arriving quickly after, including “Rosie”, one of ours and our visitors favourite sharks to see around the boat! The second trip was no different with sharks seen around within minutes of re-anchoring, many of the sharks we saw on the first trip were still present, however “Rosie” did not grace us with her presence this afternoon but we did see some lovely big females over the 4.0m length, graceful yet powerful as they glided by! A fin-tastic day on board Slashfin…
