Today's trips out on Slashfin were truly incredible! After a day off sea due to bad weather we ventured out this morning with high hopes for some good shark activity. After a quick change of dive site we had some amazing shark activity from 8 different sharks, including two larger males who were extremely active and gave some really fantastic passes and breaches! This activity was mimicked on our second trip; some of the same sharks stayed in the area and came back to the boat for this trip as well! Another amazing thing was, we had not one, but two sharks with satellite tags on their dorsal fins! It was really cool to see these sharks around the boat, one of them even having an acoustic tag as well, two tags on one shark, incredible! Such a fantastic day really lifted our spirits; our sharks showed us once again, you just never know when your luck can change when working with these incredible apex creatures!
