The weather was all over the place today, from overcast clouds, fog and rain in the morning to a hot and sunny afternoon, we had it all! The variable spectrum was also seen in the sharks today, ranging from small jumpy ones, including “Little Lumpy” everyone’s favourite feisty shark, to large and slow sharks, making those jaw-dropping passes. A plankton bloom in the area was unfortunately limiting the visibility in the water but with the close passes the divers were getting, it didn’t seem to matter! In between shark sightings some divers kept busy with a lesson on Kelp in the area from their accompanying Marine Biologist, Alison Towner, along with a friendly round of “Gansbaai’s Next Top Kelp Model”.  It’s always a great day out when it’s spent with Marine Dynamics…
