Today was a bit of a waiting game on board Slash Fin! We have grown accustomed to the sharks arriving within minutes on the scene upon our arrival; however that was not to be. After a little of my singing and dancing routine a shark appeared on the scene and we were able to dive the majority of the people on board. After a period of silence, the skipper mad the call to move to a new location. There we found some bigger sharks which were fantastic and we also saw a sat tagged shark. We later found out from our whale watching boat that they had spotted a pod of 6 killer whales chasing after a super pod of common dolphins. This could possibly be the explanation behind the scarcity of sharks…

We completed two successful trips today and had many happy clients! It was a very interesting day, not only because of the sharks but because of the odd behaviour seen from the birds! On our first trip we saw a single Giant Petrel, by the second they had increased their group size to about four individuals. They were however not intimidated by the sharks, but rather they were seen competing with them for the bait! These were large 3.9 meter sharks in front of the cage and these birds still stood their ground! The sharks were not as active (jumpy) today and therefore not many out of the water photo opportunities! It was truly a day for the bizarre record books! Got to love those Petrels…
