The group this morning had a nice Sunday sleep in with launch time being 11:am due to the tides. It appeared that the sharks were also a bit late today as we were waiting at one dive site for an hour before moving to try our luck else where. The first dive site had a small shark turn up quickly, do a few passes by the cage and some attempts on the bait line before leaving us, our brave divers endured the waters for close to 40 minutes before we took them out and headed to a different area in the shallows to see if we might find some more active sharks. This move paid off as we had a juvenile around the boat quickly after re-anchoring. The first lot of divers jumped back in and this time the sharks stuck around! We had a number of individuals today that we know quite well including “Nemo” a juvenile male with a stumped right pectoral fin, “Little Lumpy” a small but feisty female with a lump on her left side, “Anarchy” a averaged sized female that was previously tagged and tracked by us, a small male which have been monitoring for the last few weeks with what is likely propeller injuries to its dorsal fin and last but not least “Ingrid” who chose the worst moment to make her appearance...as we were leaving! All in all a fantastic day out with the sharks, thank you to all that joined us today and for your patience with the wildlife at the beginning of the trip, we think the White sharks are worth it...
