Depth: 11.2m
Visibility: 2.0m
Number of Sharks: 16
Conditions: Swell, winds + sun
The sun was out this morning as we headed towards the Island for our dive. Due to higher winds and swell we chose to anchor in the Geldsteen area. This turned out to be a great choice as we had sharks from the beginning to end of our trip! Our first shark of the day was a 3.5m female that slowly passed by the front of the cage on her side having a nice look up at the boat. This pattern continued with an array of different individuals all keen to get a closer look at the boat as they glided past. We also had a visit from a very curious Hagfish that decided it wanted to experience cage diving for itself and proceeded to swim in and around the cage! To not be outdone by a Hagfish, we also witnessed a lengthy predation some distance off the back of the boat. The seal involved must have had good luck and skill on its side and we witnessed it darting off... Shark: 0 Seal: 1! Before heading back to the harbour we swung by the Alley to see the Cape Fur Seals and see if we could spot any of the endangered African Penguin. An outstanding day at Geldsteen...
