What a fantastic day! The visibility was the best that I have seen in ages, that in conjunction with amazing sharks is a winning combination. The sharks arrived very quickly today and we had the first clients in the water before you could say ‘shark’! We had eleven large sharks, with one shark in particular showing all his pearly whites all the time. It spent more time outside of the water than in it :)! The water temperature drop has not gone unnoticed by the guests, however after a couple of minutes one gets use to it! Beautiful sharks, great visibility and awesome people made today a great trip...

Wow! We had a truly amazing time at sea today. The day started off on a wet note with heaps of rain, fortunately for us we were on a well equipped vessel. We simply released the side tarps and that protected us from all the rain, being the largest shark diving boat in South Africa has its perks! The rainbow was a good sign for us; the shark activity was very high with very close passes by the cage! The visibility in the water was amazing for most of the trip allowing for marvellous viewing, the rain offers some advantages. The sharks were passing time and time again and were all in the size range of about 3.5 meters. After the rain had moved on we were greeted by beautiful flat seas! It was an adventure packed day...

Every year on the 25th of February, Marine Dynamics and Dyer Island Cruises donate vessels to the commemoration of the BIrkenhead disaster...

It was an extremely eventful trip today with lots to see. We were being invaded by swarms of blue bottles (only 3) and they made an interesting conversation topic for quite some time! Our infamous “Big Nemo” made an appearance to the delight of the crew, she really isn’t the pretty’s girl in the water, but she’s still fantastic! All our sharks were more or less 3.5 meters in length today except for our final shark of the day who was 4 meters in length. The sharks were not us energetic and jumpy as usual, but they compensated by giving some REALLY close passes by the cage. On our way back to harbour we were treated with a bryde’s whale sighting, these ‘small’ whales frequent this area very often and it is always a treat to see them! A great day...

We had an abundance of sharks today and some phenomenal passes by the cage! We weren’t kept waiting at all today, the sharks were very punctual for a change :)! The sharks varied in size today with the largest being 4 meters. We had guests from all over the world and that always makes it interesting to see how different people respond to these animals. We had some screams, laughter and even our “smaller” guests started to fall asleep. We sighted some box jellies in the water today which was an added bonus! A very experience rich trip...
