Our day got off to an exciting start as we witnessed a full breach in the distance, by what appeared to be a juvenile shark, as we were reaching our diving location this morning. We then had sharks swimming round our cage in no time, including many on the larger side. The largest shark of the day was an impressive 4.2m female, who gave the most passes throughout our first trip. We were also fortunate enough to witness a full predation on a seal, just off in the visible distance from our anchor site in the middle of the first trip; it appeared to have been a successful meal for the shark. Our second trip was dominated by the male sharks, with a definite seven out of the ten sharks clearly showing off their manhood. The second trip also brought the return of one of our favourite females, “Rosi”! She came with her usual feistiness showing up all the male sharks swimming around, with her half breaches on the decoy! It definitely was an exciting day in the Geldsteen…
