There seem to be some new sharks on block today! Many of the sharks seen during both trips were ones that we weren’t recognizing from recent trips, perhaps another good sign that winter sharks are coming! Our largest shark of the day was just shy of 4m, a 3.8m female that we have seen before and easily recognize based on a bite in her right pectoral fin. We were all excited when it looked as if “Rosi” had turned up to join us but instead it seems she has a twin! Also a female around 3.7m, this shark has very similar markings and pigmentations to our beloved “Rosi”, even the same feisty personality; however the notches on the trailing edge of the dorsal fins tell us they are definitely two different sharks! I want to congratulate Denise on her dive this morning, who is going to have some fantastic photos to show her son or daughter one day of their very first cage dive, as she is 7 months pregnant! Just another great reminder of how safe and fun cage diving is for EVERYONE...
