Early out in the shallows, we had to wait a bit for our first to arrive, in total we saw 3 different sharks on the first trip, including a large male, approximately 4.2m, with a satellite tag. This shark was tagged by Ocearch back in 2012 and we believe it is a shark named “Maddox”. Our second trip saw their first shark ten minutes after lying down anchor, in the end a total of 5 different sharks were spotted. The sharks were leaping in front of us, a really good and active trip! Third trip had three different ones a little slow at the end but the big shark “Maddox” coming into save the day.

Thank you all for a nice trip to the Shallows!
