As the only boat on the water today, Slashfin had clean pickings at getting white sharks today. We anchored in the shallows and pretty much straight away had a shark around the boat. So we geared up and got our first divers in the cage. Our first shark was a small 2.5m female, who was with us briefly then the stunning Sarko joined us. She showed us the good stuff on this trip, and then out of nowhere a 3.8m male, nicknamed feisty popped up. He was full of energy and lived up to his name. Unfortunately we spotted injuries present just behind the head, which encircled the body through the gills. It looks like plastic that the animal has swum through and since they are only able to move forwards, it has clearly just become stuck around the head. We shall monitor his progress over the coming days though to see how he gets on. Finally a 3.2m female joined us for some stunning shots, she has similar scarring to Sarko just on the opposite flank. It was a jawsome, fintastic and fincredible day, puns aside we had an excellent trip today!
