Number of Sharks: 9

Good weather, a flat sea, great visibility and lots of sharks. What else could we have wished for? After a few days with better visibility we were curious to what we would find at sea today. As we left Kleinbaai harbor we passed through some red algae patches. Luckily these algae patches were not present in Joubertsdam. We got on Anchor and attached the cage to the side of the boat. After about 20 minutes our first shark showed up and they kept on coming. Amongst the sharks we saw were some familiar faces but also a few new ones. The most interesting new shark had a maximum length of 2m, indicating that it was a very young shark. This is not the first small shark we’ve seen because one week ago we saw a 1.6m Great white! We ended up seeing 9 sharks in total including two 4.2m females.

If you are looking to get up close and personal with the great white shark then White Shark Diving in Gansbaai, and more specifically with Marine Dynamics, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won’t want to miss. Book and pay online with us and get a free video of your encounter with the world’s apex predator.
