Tag: Slashfin

Well hello sunshine! The sun was out and shining this morning as we left for our first trip of the day. We had about a 30 minute wait for our first shark, however we were not left disappointed…

We decided to try our luck in Shark Alley today, as we are nearing ever so closely to the winter hunting months! The highlight of today would have to have been the return of the shark our vessel was named after… SLASHFIN…

The most amazing day of the year so far and finally Slahfin has come back to Geyser Rock…

Winter is clearly on its way, even though it was sunny there was a clear chill in the air! This was however no deterrent for the sharks who arrived on schedule. “Slash Fin” made a very dramatic appearance today and it would seem he is getting bigger and bigger every day, seal meat is the way to go if you want to bulk up :)! It would seem that more and more newlywed couples are sealing the deal through shark cage diving. Congratulations guys and I hope to see you soon again with the new additions to the family! A very special day…

Out of this world and with no limits is how I would describe today’s trip at sea. We were mesmerized by the abundance of bird life on the water with heaps of Wilsons Storm Petrels as well as juvenile and adult Kelp Gulls. We were then treated to a frenzy of shark activity

with a total of eleven sharks giving a performance! ‘Slash Fin’, ‘Zane’ and ‘Moony’ were some of the more infamous characters around the boat and it is always a pleasure to see them! An amazing site for me was seeing a Remora (suckerfish) attached to one of the sharks, which was really a treat for me! Something new everyday…

Marine Dynamics and the Dyer Island Conservation Trust are excited to announce that legendary shark “Slashfin” has been spotted again, and better yet, tagged.
