Water temperature: Low

Visibility: Moderate

Location: Joubertsdam

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks and Cape Fur seals


Look who’s back! It’s the Subantarctic Skua, a seasonal bird in this area and somewhat earlier this year than usual


So close you can see the ampullae of lorenzini, those little spots on the snout that work as special sensing organs for electroreception


We love seeing such enthusiasm from our guests before they take the plunge into the cage


The Bronze whaler activity was continuous this morning with some stunning sightings


The beautiful eye of a Bronze whaler


Friends enjoying some quality time in the cage


Down to the left divers!


This small Cape Fur seal was seen multiple times around the boat this morning


Back to Gansbaai harbour to finish of a great morning


Check out those small but mighty Bronze whaler teeth


Perfect day to enjoy the view from top deck whilst enjoying the sunshine


The Bronze whaler activity continued into the afternoon trip 


13.5ºC water temperature…no problem #daretobare


Cage corner cruise by for this big female Bronze whaler


A big thank you to all our guests today, we hope you enjoyed your trip
