Day: August 21, 2012

Not only did we have great sharks around the boat today, but we also had some very nice bird sightings. I was able to capture a snap shot of a Shy Albatross making a pass by the cage! It seems everyone wants to have a look to see what we’re doing! I also need to mention Daniel who was a very brave 7 year old boy. Initially he was a bit nervous getting into the cage, but at the end of the dive it was a struggle getting him out. He was a true champ and did very well when the sharks were nice and close! Just goes to show that shark cage diving is open to those of all ages…

The very first thing we spotted on our way out to our dive site was a Southern Right Whale, now if that’s not how you start your day then I don’t know how else :)! This adult was very close to the boat and gave us a nice steady passing by, enough time for everyone to grab at least one photo opportunity! Thereafter onwards to our shark dive! We had a large number of sharks on both our trips; however it was not the numbers that need to be mentioned but rather the individuals. We had a 3.7 meter male shark that just kept passing really close to the cage and kept starring at the divers! Nerve racking for some and amazing for others! A really nice shark…
