The dawn of a new week and we headed out bright and early this morning! We pointed ourselves towards the shallows and sped out there eager to feast our eyes on the sharks. Within moments of anchoring we had our copper sharks join us, with them giving use some fantastic close to the cage action. With 7 individuals on this trip we were spoiled for choice with shark action. As if this wasn’t enough we also had the stingray pop up briefly as well. Upon leaving for Gansbaai harbour this morning due to the tide, we also encountered some southern right whales and a small pod of bottlenose dolphin! A great end to the trip.
For our second trip, we headed around Danger Point, which is always fun, and back to the shallows. Our copper sharks turned up again as our divers were getting geared up, and we had fabulous sunshine and sharks on this trip. With excellent shark activity throughout this trip we were mightily content. But as we left for the harbour, we had breaching southern right whales in the distance which was amazing to see!
Third and final trip of the day saw the copper sharks turn up in very good numbers and we got some super close passes while we were in the cage. We also had a Short-tailed stingray make an appearance from below, gliding amongst the Copper sharks. The sun stuck around all day for us today and it made for a wonderful day!
