The overcast weather had not cleared up for today however the waters had calmed down for a great day out in the dam! The sharks arrived quickly on our trips, and today was all about our known and named individuals. Throughout the day we had our current star of the bay “Jacob” showing off however he had some competition with a similar sized male by the name of “Alvin”. We were also lucky enough to see a smaller male by the name of “Mini Nemo”, a shark with a deformed right pectoral fin that is significantly smaller than normal. We also had our curious Short-Tailed Stingray show up again to give our divers a “stingray cage diving” experience too! Great to see some familiar shark faces out there…
