We launched quite early this morning, but it was definitely worth it. Arrived at the dive site we got to see a beautiful sunrise and slowly got ready for the cage diving. Just a little while after everything was ready the first shark showed up. We had great shark activity throughout the whole trip, some were investigating the bait some others the decoy. In total we encountered ten different white sharks. We also had a some well-known individuals around, ‘Mini Nemo’ and a recently tagged one named ‘Brian’. Our biggest shark we had was estimated to around 4.5m, the same length as our cage. It was a female and she cruised by only towards the end of our tour.
