Whale, whale, whale what do we have here?! We had only just anchored when a Southern Right Whale was spotted off the side of the boat…

What a great day out on the water after a few weeks of less than desirable winter diving conditions! The sun was shining and the sea was relatively flat as we headed out to the Island….

Today offered some of the best visibility and weather conditions that we have had in ages…

The Gansbaai region is one of the most special places on this planet and here is why…

A tremendously successful trip today! We had awesomely active sharks and giant ones too boot! The largest shark was our first one of the day, a massive 4.5 meter female who just kept giving very close passes by the cage. We had two more sharks that were also around the 4 meter margin, the big guns were out and about today! We also had one shark which had a small suckerfish attached to its lower jaw, as you can see on the first picture! After some amazing shark displays we were treated to a final demonstration by a juvenile Humpback Whale. It popped up right in front of the cage to everyone’s amazement and left abruptly thereafter. That was truly the cherry on the cake and a perfect way to end a shark trip! No blue Mondays at Marine Dynamics…
