As we reached the dive site this morning it was evident that an algal bloom in the area was going to be limiting the visibility but that just meant the sharks would have to get up close and personal, which they did! After an hour and half wait time we were all pleased to have "Ninja" turn up as our first shark. As entertaining as always she started the show off with a splash, giving us a taste of her infamous half breaches! It wasn't long before more sharks followed suit and the divers were getting the personal encounter they were hoping for! We always love to help everyone's shark dreams come true, no matter what their age, and today we were happy to entertain Dorothy, a great-grandmother of two, who was bought the trip by her children and jumped at the chance for second turn in the cage! We were also pleased to entertain 5 year-old Maisha and 16 month-old Linda while their parents took a turn a cage today as well. Just goes to remind everyone, shark cage diving with Marine Dynamics really is a family fun activity, no matter what the age...
