So it has been awhile since we did an update. We've headed to South Africa for a break and take a look at great white sharks and other critters of the southern Cape. It's been a good trip so far, a day out looking for great whites turned out pretty well with over 7 different great whites brought into the boat.
The weather was good and hot and so it took about an hour for the chum to work. First sign were schools of mackerel that came in for the bate, but soon a few smaller sharks about 2 meters + started to show up and then some bigger ones pushing over 4 meters and well over a 2 meter girth.
In all, a good time and great thanks to our hosts, Great White Shark Tours in Gaansbai South Africa www.sharkcagediving.net for their excellent hosting.
The staff were great and very proficient at getting us on the fish. The breakfast meal and on board service was great and so was the lunch back at the dock. If you are ever in South Africa and want a great outing check in with them. They will arrange pickup from Cape Town (you have to get up by 04:30 to 05:00 depending on your pick up location.) The drive from Cape Town to Gaansbai is about 2 hours depending on your start location.
Summer weather (Nov. Dec. Jan) has low water clarity so if you get there during their winter, the dive visibility and underwater viewing is much better. Either way, it was well worth it!
