The sun was shining brightly this morning as Slashfin left the harbour with our first group of divers! Once in the shallows there was a 30 minute wait before the first shark showed up. The visibility was a challenge today with some murky waters, luckily with this trip the sharks were very active, especially after the third shark of the day turned up, which turned out to be Rosie, one of the Great Whites the company has acoustically tagged. This trip also saw a juvenile male we have been seeing on and off now for close to six weeks. The biggest and best was yet to come, as the trip was in its final hour a 4m+ male showed up wowing those on board. The second trip of the day launched this afternoon as the wind increased. Just like this morning our wait was minimal with a shark cruising on the surface within 20 minutes of arriving however the sharks had gotten shy and were using the cover of the bad visibility to sneak up and past us, however we still got some good passes especially from the two largest sharks to visit us. A big thank you to all of those who joined us on Slashfin today…
