Nothing short of incredible, that’s exactly how I would describe the entire day at Marine Dynamics! The morning started off early with us having to collect a dead Great White Shark off of Dyer Island, this made for some very labour intensive efforts from some of our crew members. I took my leave (just before the hard work started :) ) in order to collect our clients for our shark trip that was scheduled for that very afternoon! After briefing the clients on what to expect on the water I was pleased to be able to show them the remains of the shark in the harbour! Believe me, after today’s shark activity they all prefer to see this amazing animal alive and free rather than dead. I took some pictures of the deceased shark, however I have handed it over to one of my colleagues who will be making a full press release in the near future! So watch this space…

We were the only shark cage diving company out on the water today, due to the fact that our boat Slash Fin can cope very well with the bigger weather conditions. The conditions at sea were actually quite pleasant and not at all what they predicted on the forecast! We were also very fortunate that the spot we chose today had three sharks already on site when we arrived! I am also so glad that the clients who had dire fears of great whites were converted to the light! They are beautiful animals which deserve our respect and not our fears. We were also treated to a spectacular sight today; a Cape Gannet plunged into the water just a meter from our boat. It barely missed one of our crew members heads as it was chasing after its prey. These birds are remarkable in the fact that they can hit the water at speeds of over a 100 km/h! What a treat to be able to see it in action…
