We may have had a very early start to the day today due to the tides, but what a start! We left the harbour with a stunning sunrise. Once anchored, it was not long till we had our first shark around the boat. Whilst visibility was not the best today, the sharks were more than happy to give divers a close up as they navigated themselves past the cage! Today was also a day to enjoy the bird life present around the bay with many being seen from the boat including Cape Gannets, a Giant Petrel and a Storm Petrel. There must have been something in the water on our second trip! The sharks were seen immediately upon arrival and were all very active. We yet again saw “Riley” today, who performed a gravity-defying leap in which his whole body cleared the water! One shark seen during the second trip clearly had an acoustic tag attached under the dorsal fin on its right side. We believe this is not one the sharks Marine Dynamics has tagged, but we are very interested to know more about this shark. A very large Short-Tailed stingray also paid a visit to the boat today as it glided up to investigate the bait more than once during our dives. Another beautiful day out in the bay…
