Shark Cage Dive Season - Day 2 - 2nd December 2024

 

What a day!   Not has sunny as Day 1... but it started off with a bang!   Two sharks before morning tea and a third showing up just to keep us going.   Nice super nice moments with some shark faces we have not seen before... Fabulous Dive team on board today - Great Smiles - Good Yarns - Super sensational sharks! 

NOTE:  We have two days this week were tours are cancelled due to very high winds (32-47 knots) so check your inbox for details if you are travelling with Shark Experience this week.
