What a phenomenal day! We were graced with exceptional weather conditions and amazing shark activity! We barely had to wait two seconds for our first pair of sharks to arrive on the scene! After that they just kept coming and stayed throughout! The visibility was initially about ten meters, however as the trip progressed it decreased significantly with time. The visibility was still very good, but not exceptional. We had a range of ages amongst our clients, both young and mature and everyone had a good time! A fantastic trip...

Winter at Dyer Island just keeps getting better! We had yet another spectacular trip today, with 15 individual sharks some measuring between 4.5 and 5m! 

After 4 months of being patient, I finally saw my first official predation take place! It was incredible to see Mother Nature doing her thing! We had phenomenal shark sightings with loads of sharks making an appearance. The largest shark was about 3.9 meters in length and very active. I was so happy to be able to show our clients these amazing animals and the breach was just the cherry on the cake! I’m speechless...

It has been a while since I’ve seen the number of sharks jumping, as seen on the trip today! We were pleasantly surprised firstly by the prompt arrival of all the sharks and secondly by the display of aerial acrobatics! The sharks were all in the range of between 3.5- and 4 meters. You could clearly see that they were still full of youthful energy! Conditions on the water held up quite well considering that they predicted rough weather. We did find some swell, however our anker spot behind the Island was perfect. We had some big screams and amazing sightings, all and all we had an amazing day! See you tomorrow...

White sharks don't have finger prints, so how do you tell one white shark from another?  This shark fact blog explains how dorsal fins help scientists keep track of local sharks.

Even though we had some chilly and wet conditions on the boat we had an amazing time! The sharks arrived very promptly and our clients were able to take shelter from the weather on the lower deck behind our protective tarps! The rain was on and off for the most part of the trip. It helps however to be one of the biggest boats in the business, especially on a day like today! Unfortunately, one of our seal decoys fell victim to the open ocean and drifted away towards greener pastures, we will miss him dearly :)! Our biggest shark was about 3.9 meters in length, just shy of the 4 meter mark! A truly phenomenal day with amazing activity! Great stuff...
