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...
