It was a beautiful morning to head out into the bay with th sun rising and the fresh sea breeze! We anchored to the side of Geyser Rock and started the process of trying to attract the White sharks. While we were out on the water for three hours we had no such luck with any shark sightings unfortunatley. The second trip launched and we headed straight back to our anchor to give it another go and low and behold within five minutes of being back on site a dark shadow was spotted gliding through our chum slick. It turned out to be a large male shark we have been seeing frequently over the last few days with a white spot on its snout and abrasions down its left side. This male measures in just below 4.0m in length and made the crew and clients day for showing up. Close to an hour later another large male made an appearance, very similar in length to our first one yet quite clean but with a light mark on top of its' head. Both trips were introduced to the entertaining Cape Fur seals that inhabit Geyser Rock before heading back to land and some of the keener eyes on the boat spotted a few African penguins perched amongst all the Cape cormorants on Dyer Island. Thank you to all those that joined us today for your understanding of the wildlife and for your patience, we truly appreciate it...
