Well the weather sure wasn’t going to co-operate with us this morning! The day started with grey clouds and drizzle however this didn’t deter our divers and once they all had their wetsuits, life vests and wet weather jackets on we were off down to the harbour, onto Slashfin and out to our dive site! It was a minimal wait for our first shark to turn up, approximately 30 minutes and we had spotted a juvenile individual. The trip continued in such a manner with a number of juvenile individuals showing up and getting close to the cage. Towards the end of our trip we had “Sellendilloh”, the satellite SPOT tagged Great White turn up yet again and show off as he has been doing for the last 4 weeks. The last shark of the day was our largest, coming in at 4.0m, a large male looking pale in colour and with a distinctive black scar on the right side of the trunk just behind the dorsal fin. Whilst we had some overcast weather today the visibility under the water is close to the best we have seen in quite some time, which gave us a great chance to watch many of the sharks we saw today ascend up through the water slowly! A wet but wonderful day...
