Gansbaai is world renowned for the large predatory fish that visits it's waters, the White shark, however there are other large predators that inhabit the seas off the South African coastline and one is the Orca. The first group that joined Marine Dynamics were lucky enough to start off their morning with glimpses of two male Orcas…

The day started with an incredible first trip. February is notoriously a difficult month for white shark sightings in Gansbaai so we were very pleased to see our first shark arrive within less than 10 minutes of being anchored…

This morning started off all doom and gloom with overcast skies that threatened to open up and pour down on us at anytime but it held off and eventually cleared. The sea also had a bit more motion to it today…

Bit of a slow start to the day but the sharks did arrive with time as did the stingrays…

The clouds were clearing and the rain slowing down by the time we headed out onto the water this morning. Once on anchor we had close to a 30 minutes wait for the sharks to arrive but within minutes of the first showing up we had another three very close behind…

It was a beautiful day to be out on the water with a warm, sunny day and just a slight breeze to keep things fresh on board. The sharks arrived quickly with only a 15 minute wait for our morning trip…

We were all interested in seeing what sort of conditions and activity we would be seeing today after a slow weekend with the sharks in the bay and a day off due to some bad weather conditions coming through…

The day was predicted to be a stunner and it truly was with little swell, a light, refreshing wind and clear skies however our sharks appeared to still be in the same mood as yesterday with many of the boats out on the bay struggling to get a sighting of this elusive animal…

We were back on the water after a day off due to some heavy weather conditions and the bay looked like a completely different area this morning with the sun shining on a relatively flat sea…

The skies and rain cleared just as we were launching with a beautiful sunset coming up over the bay as we made our way out of the harbour and into the Shallows to be the first boat on anchor…
