With a bit of a later launch today we headed out for another awesome day on the water. We arrived at our anchor spot and geared up our divers. We had a shark pretty quick this morning, the 3m male with the clamp marks on his dorsal fin. He gave us some very graceful passes by the decoy and got up close and personal with our first group of cage divers. He soon decided to move on, and we had a lull in sightings for a while. So we moved our anchor to try and improve our chances! This appeared to work as we caught up with the same male from earlier in the trip. He glided past the cage a few time to the delight of our divers and our guests on the boat. Although we didn’t have sharks coming out of our ears today the male that joined us around Slashfin was magnificent! Another joyous day on the water.
