The last day of the 2013 shark cage diving season went out with a bang! We launched from Gansbaai harbour this morning due to low tides, starting the day off with some beautiful scenery as we came round Danger Point. The day was filled with some of our favourite sharks who are in the area right now, including “Riley”, one of the satellite tagged sharks, and “Little Roundy”.  “Riley” was the star of the day today, staying with us right from anchoring on our first trip to the very end of our third trip, constantly providing close passes and surprise jumps. However our largest shark of the day a 4.2m male recorded on both the second trip, by our biologist Alison Towner, and our third trip definitely gave “Riley” a run for his money! This impressively large shark, was giving lots of jumps on the decoy and plenty of continuous slow motion passes. There’s no better way to celebrate the end of the year than with a 4+m Great White shark swimming past you! On behalf of everyone here at Marine Dynamics, have a safe and Happy New Year’s…
