The luck was on our side this St. Patricks day as we were spoiled by some incredible shark sightings! The water temperature had dropped to 12°C and immediately we were worried about low oxygen effecting the day. However, after an hour, the first two sharks arrived followed by the infamous Rosie, a 4.2m female we have in our database since 2012. This majestic female stole the show and made some beautiful slow passes by the cage. Our diver all requested to go in again! The bird sightings were also spectacular with an entourage of Cape cormorants an Avian Tour the France!

Our second trip for today was just as exciting as the first one. As we were launching from Kleinbaai harbour it was quite misty, but it cleared up soon. We had sharks straight away after pulling up the cage and tying back to the vessel. Within a few minutes we already spotted three different sharks. We also spotted Rosie again, she was circling the boat and having a look at the divers in the cage.
