Today was one of those days when everything seemed perfect, the conditions were amazing with some of the flattest seas we have seen in sometime and the above and below water temperature and visibility was stunning however one thing was missing and it happened to be the most important feature of the trip, the sharks! This also happens to be the hardest part of any of our work as dealing with wildlife is unpredictable which is also part of the beauty behind nature too. We enjoyed the mid-morning and afternoon out on sea unfortunately we did miss the sharks and extend our thanks to our great guests from today for their patience and understanding.
It was not until the last moments of the day as the sun was disappearing behind the mountains that our fishy friend appeared, a great relief for our team and guests. Some divers had climbed into the cage to take photos and after a while of seal sounds, splashing, and singing underwater, a white shark popped up! It was a juvenile white shark, approximately 2.5 meters long with a scar from a bite on its left gill slits. The exctiement grew and we hoped this shark would stick around, but unfortuantely it didn’t, so we packed up our stuff, headed out to shark alley and had a look at our very stinky, but very cute, cape fur seals. With the sun dissapearing we headed back into the harbor and back up to the Great White House for some nice hot vegetable soup to warm up with.
