Depth: 10.2m
Visibility: 2-3m
Number of Sharks: 3 + 3
Conditions: Flat seas but overcast, low winds during first trip with slightly windier conditions during the second trip
Our first trip launched from Gansbaai harbour and headed to the dive site in quite misty conditions, but that didn’t stop our guests from enjoying a distant view of some Southern Right Whales whilst on the way to our dive site. Shortly after anchoring down our sharks arrived and made some passes at the cage for our divers. Star of this morning’s trip was a close to four meter female we are familiar with whom has distinctive marks on her dorsal fin from a critter cam. The second trip of the day saw light drizzle but significantly less mist, and even that was easily forgotten as our first shark arrived within minutes of returning to the dive site in the shallows. After a couple brief sightings towards the bow of the boat the shark moved on however. The divers in the cage were also treated by a few passes from a large Short-tailed Stingray that appeared around the boat and chased the bait line briefly, although the excitement from this visitor was quickly replaced by the appearance of our two more active sharks who’s repeated attempts on the bait line and the decoy gave our clients some excellent views of these beautiful creatures! It just goes to show that few other creatures can match the majesty of the Great White Shark…
