We had an absolute blast on the trip today with some very fun loving guests! They were in very high spirit and the sharks just added to the excitement on board. We had a large 3.7 meter shark that stayed with us from the start to the end of the trip. Lovely shark to watch! Our shark boat was a love cruise for many of the guest and it reminded of how great love can be. What can I say, I must be a romantic at heart :)! It just goes to show that our trips cater to all your needs, not just the need to see sharks. Great day…

I am absolutely thrilled to report that we had a very famous shark around the boat today, ‘Bullet’, aka ‘Big Nemo’. This shark appears to have gone through several world wars and survived. It is missing its left pectoral fin; it has a large hole in its dorsal fin and to top it off a large bite wound to the side of its head! This shark is still going strong; this clearly demonstrates the remarkable healing ability of these animals! We spotted the same shark today as yesterday, with the hook in its mouth, and I have included a photo which is quite graphic. Talks are currently underway in order to devise a plan in which we can help this shark! The trip itself today had great activity with some very close passes from the sharks; the only problem I think is that I need to start putting on more sunscreen :)! I’m becoming darker every day! This is a good reference for all our future clients to remember to pack in your sun block… Great Day!

We had a slow start to our trip today with only one shark for quite a while, the visibility was however amazing in the water. It was only after we had repositioned the boat did we receive a flurry of shark activity! The sharks were full of energy and put on quite a show for the clients. There was one 3.5 meter shark that was keeping our bait handlers on their toes. It was astonishing to see how quick such a large animal could move so effortlessly through the water! The fog allowed the sharks to have a more dramatic impact on the guests, giving them a more spooky appeal :)! The water was beautifully calm today and everyone had a great time! That always makes me happy…

We had several large families on board today, it must be due to the fact that today was Sunday! It is really great to see how an entire family can find enjoyment together on a shark diving trip, both young and old! The parents were full of screams, even more so than the kids :)! It was completely understandable due to the fact that we had some large 4 meter sharks around the cage. Well done guys for maintaining your composure! The wind was interfering with our visibility in the water today, which made it even more exciting for the guys in the cage. You never know when a shark is going to swim in front of you and yell surprise! All and all it was a very wholesome trip…

It was a battle with the tides today and not with the sharks, they were on time! We departed the harbour nice and early this morning and remained out a bit longer than usual in order to catch the incoming tide again! The guests received the news very well; this gave them more time to relax at sea at no extra cost :)! We had a couple of amazing sightings today, excluding the great whites. We had a massive school of sardines swim past our cage; the school covered nearly the entire horizon. They were about a meter in front of the cage, an amazing site for the guys in the water. We had a great example of The Evil Eyed Puffer Fish (Amblyrhynchotes honckenii), on our bait today. A very beautiful fish indeed! There were many sharks today and only 2 out of the 12 sharks spotted were less than 3 meters, so it was a day for the giants. Great to see all of these great things on a single trip…

What a wonderful day at sea, we were so spoiled to get 8 individual
sharks. Chopper our infamous 3.5m TL male stole the show! Despite
challenging visibility everyone had a great dive!

Today Marine Dynamics proved its skills both in organisational capacity as well as in its ability to deliver sharks! We had a large booking for 100 clients in one group today, as well as our normal trip with 22 people! All 122 of our guests left with big smiles on their faces, proving that we are truly the top shark cage diving company and that we have the capacity and ability to handle large and small groups. We spent many hours at sea today, but the sharks made the time fly past. There was an incredible amount of activity in the water today, at some points we had 5 large sharks in front of the cage showing their pearly whites. It was great having our familiar sharks in the area as well as some new faces. The photos will speak for themselves! Today was one to remember…

It is absolutely fantastic if you have the sharks waiting for you on the water when you arrive! If every trip starts off like today I will be needing a larger memory card for my camera. We had fantastic weather today and even better sharks. Our old friend “chopper” made an appearance today and he seems to be getting bigger every time I see him! It is truly incredible at what rate these animals can heal from a serious injury. Even though one can still see the scars on the animal, it is much less prominent than before. We had very enthusiastic guests on board; they were keen to stay in the cage until tomorrow! Sorry guys, we only offer that package over the weekends :)! Awesome time…

We all know why sharks are in South Africa, but why? This blog goes into exactly why we have these great animals in our waters.
