Location: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Short tail Stingray, Bronze whalers


Short tail stingray spent with us pretty much the whole trip!


And we had stunning bronzies coming in numbers


What a beautiful sighting especially when the water is almost 19 degrees!


Beautiful bronze skin shimmering in the sun


Very special day with bronzies coming up nice and close


Can see the teeth and also the nictitating membrane that covers the eyes


Stunning creatures!


The Bronze Whaler sharks appeared quickly for our second trip and the activity continued nicely throughout the afternoon


Our guests didn’t hesitate and jumped straight into the cage once the sharks were around


This Short-tail stingray appeared for a few passes giving our guests a nice view under the water


Before heading back to harbour we made a quick stop by Geyser Rock to see the Cape Fur seals


And our last stop along the way was to Dyer Islands Sponge bay and some of its African penguin inhabitants
