The festive season has arrived in Gansbaai and the town is filled with the hustle and bustle of holiday makers! This is our busiest two weeks of the year and often the water conditions and sharks can be challenging. This was not the case today however we had beautiful clear water and some great sharks. Our biologist Helen Patullo counted 6 on the first trip including ‘Tom Cat’ a young shark named so because of scarring on his face. The second trip we saw 5 sharks one being the infamous ‘Little Lumpy’, a favorite of our crew. We would like to say a great big happy birthday and congratulations to Tok Niemande who did a pre birthday cage dive today at the ripe old age of 72 on our second trip! Himself and his lovely wife Susan are the parents of our Dyer Island Conservation Trusts operations manager Alouise Lynch. It was a pleasure to have them on board with us! All in all, a fantastic day for everyone.
