Despite the fact that the water temperature had dropped by 3 degrees, there was still an amazing time to be had both in and out of the water. Both trips had a combination of large and even larger sharks today, which offered some tremendous heart stopping moments!

Even though it was a bit chilly out at sea today we had an amazing time with both the Whales and the Sharks. We spotted some Southern Right Whales on our way towards our dive site and some more while we were on anchor.

The seas were calm and there were barely any clouds over head as we set out to Joubertsdam this morning. Within 10 minutes or so we’d picked our spot and began waiting for the sharks to show up.

A combination of jumps, dives and even a partial spy hop or two made today’s trip exceptional! Southern Right Whales were spotted on both trips in numerous pairs all over. The sharks did keep us waiting a bit on the first trip, but what was to follow was well worth the wait!

Good weather just keeps coming, not to be pessimistic, but that’s usually a sign of things to come. We are using the good weather in that we are running two trips with both having tremendous shark activity with both big and smaller sharks!

Calm seas are always a pleasant sight! We had some beautiful weather conditions with very little wind and initial cloud cover which gave way to some sunny conditions! Two very big sharks were present, with the one being 4 meters- and the other 4.3 meters in length! We spotted four out of the five “Marine Big Five”, we only missed some dolphins.
