The overcast and rainy conditions couldn’t keep us away from our beloved sharks this morning, and it seemed they were just as happy to see us! With minimal wait time, our first shark sighting was a small juvenile, only about 2.7m, but she was curious enough to stay with us throughout the entire trip, also being our last sighting of the day. The shark sizes only climbed from there, with our largest shark being a male around 3.8m. We were happy to see “Rosi” turn up around the cage, although she was of a much more relaxed nature, she was still providing her infamous close passes and turns right in front of the cage! The water temperature has increased again to a lovely 17.8 degrees Celsius, which likely encouraged the Short-Tailed Stingray sighting we had today. It’s been some time since we had a stingray around the cage and this one was being very curious, as usual, coming up to test the bait line and even checking out the decoy. The wildlife always makes it worth the trip, no matter what the weather…
