After being off the water for a day due to bad weather we were eager to get sharky this Monday! We headed out early doors this morning, and were first to the shallows, so we got organised, geared up and were ready to go in no time. We didn’t have to wait too long before the copper sharks rocked up and showed their stuff. Divers in and we got some really nice close passes with these cool sharks! The activity for this trip was a little here and there but we managed to get some nice sightings both on the boat and in the cage!

Second up, we went straight back to the dive site and had sharks again within minutes, the copper sharks were seemingly full of energy and excited to see us, so in we got with them. With fairly consistent activity for the first two cages, we got the third in and all of a sudden the sharks disappeared. So it was cage dive quiz time, with winners getting to chow down on spring rolls in the cage as a reward! With time running out for this trip, we wanted our final cage to see some action, and their patience was rewarded! With some very nice action at the end of this cage, we had ourselves a very nice trip on our hands.

For the third trip today, the copper were sitting in wait for us as we arrived, so we got ready and into the cage to get face to face with some more beautiful sharks.
