Water temperature: Low

Visibility: High

Location: Joubertsdam

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks and Cape Fur seals


The first trip saw a number of approaches but they were mostly deep, thankfully the visibility was good enough for some great views


We were treated to the sight of not one, not two, but three Cape Fur seals around the boat


Another return to Gansbaai harbour from first trip and launch for second trip due to tides


After much patience from our team and guests the Bronze whaler sharks appeared to perk up


The smallest of the three seals from this morning was around for the afternoon


Whilst waiting for the sharks to appear our guests enjoyed the warm sunshine


The Bronze whalers finally warmed up and came in nice and close


On the count of three let me hear you say…SHARKS!


Cruising in, a welcoming sight as the sharks approached


The clearer water made for some great viewing from the boat


Up close and personal with a Bronze whaler shark anyone?!


A massive thank you to all our guests from todays’ trips. Your patience, attitude and understanding was much appreciated
