This morning we were back on the water to see if we could find any White sharks. We launched bright and early making our way into the Shallows as the first one out. Once on anchor it turned out to be a beautiful day however whilst we had a friendly/hungry Cape Fur seal around it appeared our White sharks were still missing. The hour before we were due back in harbour we moved sites next to the rest of the boats out in the bay and happened upon a small, juvenile female and whilst she did not stick around the entire time it was fantastic to have at least this sighting of a White shark up close!

The second trip of the day launched and found itself yet again patiently waiting for a sighting, around the two hour mark a shark did show up! Much like the first trip this shark was not so keen on sticking around and would come and go however yet again it was great to have any viewing of a shark after 5 days of nothing.

Big thank you for the patience of our guests with the waiting today, we are very happy we were able to show you a White shark in the end.
