Thank goodness our sharks are back to normal! Unfortunately due to the disasterous drop in water temperature and plankton bloom we have been encountering some of the slowest shark days so far in a year. Trips from the 30th nov to the 2nd were pretty unsucessful with only glimpses of sharks dorsal fins or even one the afternoon of the first a complete miss trip, my first time experiencing this since last februaury. SO...this morning and afternnon trip i nearly dived in and cuddled our first great white that stayed. All divers managed to see sharks and were were very fortunate to see larger individuals inquisitively approaching the cage. Many thanks to all and hope you enjoyed.
