A misty morning greeted us as we headed down to the harbour today. By the time we reached our dive site, the Geldsteen, the mist had disappeared to reveal a beautiful day. We spent just under an hour anchored at Geldsteen and whilst the conditions were great, there were no sharks to be seen! The decision was made to head into the shallows and try our luck in that area. Before doing so we swung by Shark Alley to see the Cape Fur Seals on Geyser Rock. Once re-anchored we had only 15 minutes to wait till our first shark of the day turned up. Whilst we had our eyes on the sharks in front we had a Southern Right Whale slowly make its way closer and closer towards our vessel, next minute it was circling the boat and surfaced right in front of the cage as new divers were entering, for those lucky few they can now say they have experienced shark cage diving as well as whale cage diving! We bid goodbye to the whale as it headed closer to the coast and welcomed back our “toothy” visitors. Our largest shark of the day was a 3.5m female that graced us with a few passes and sneak attempts on the decoy and bait line! A great day to be onboard Slashfin...
