This work forms an integral component of my PhD research on white shark behavioral ecology and habitat use in the Gansbaai region…

The last day in a series with amazing weather conditions. From tomorrow we won’t be able to go out for alteast 2 days due to a cold front coming in. Weather conditions were good and even though the sharks have been a bit slow the last 2 days everyone saw the Great Whites from within the cage…

It was a cold start that greeted us this morning as we walked down to the harbour to board Slashfin, however not long after we were out in the bay the sun had risen…

The first trip of the day saw our boat, Slashfin leaving Kleinbaai Harbour at 9am and heading into the shallows to try our luck on finding some White sharks…

A perfect day to go out to sea to experience what the waters of Gansbaai and Kleinbaai have to offer when it comes down to marine life…

We launched with the sun this morning, allowing us a beautiful view as we headed out of the harbour and into the shallows…

We found ourselves back at sea today after two days off due to some not so nice weather conditions also known as large swells, strong winds and a bit of rain…

Even though conditions were a bit rough out at sea, conditions in shark alley were great to anchor and do some awesome shark cage diving…

Our divers were saying that the visibility from the cage was at least 3 or 4m! Something we hardly get in Joubertsdam…

Today was not for the faint hearted! We had some interesting conditions yet it was still safe for us to head out so out we went…
