Diving with Sharks

I am sitting at home, in my office in the late afternoon, looking out at sea and watching 2 humpback whales playing for what has now been a long time.  What a privilege!!!

A great dive today, with at least 7 raggedtooth sharks, one of which appears incredibly pregnant and all females sighted today.  Manta ray, nudibranches, ragged scorpionfish, needlefish, trumpet fish, yellowtail kingfish and so much more………………………………………if you are in the office, sorry!!!!!  For those of us enjoying an outdoor lifestyle, what a great day!!!!!!!

We had superb dives over the weekend with sightings, amongst others, of a large school of sangora (tropical kingfish) circling us the entire dive at Cowrie reef, 3 flapnose houndsharks (I had not seen one before and it was an amazing sighting), 2 banded pipefish, longnose hawkfish and the beautiful songs of the humpback whales […]

An amazing day of diving was had by a full boatload of happy divers today.  First dive of the day was to Landers Pinnacle, a small raggedtooth shark was spotted, along with 2 banded pipefish, a blacktip shark and some amazing soft corals. The next dive was a baited shark dive and we were graced […]

A great dive, despite the south westerly that blew moderate in the morning and picked up to strong in the afternoon, luckily we were off the ocean by then.  Viz was around 20m today and we encountered at least 6 raggedtooth sharks at Raggie Cave.  All animals being female.  A lovely large potato bass at […]

A great dive today!!!!! Ocean conditions very good ahead of a predicted south westerly buster later this evening.  As we entered the water at Manta Point, we got our 1st raggedtooth shark and had a further 6 on the dive, with 3 of these being at Raggie Cave.  3 turtles were sighted, 2 green & […]

We have had an incredible week of diving with our clients.  2 baited shark dives produced an amazing amount of blacktip sharks and the odd dusky shark.  We got to see some regulars by way of distinguishing features that they have i.e. broken jaw x 2 and the female with a massive bite around the […]

We had incredible dives over the long weekend, with at least 15 raggies at Cathedral, 2 at Chunnel, 4 females on North East Pinnacles and 9 raggies at Raggie Cave.  Absolutely amazing.  We are in full swing with our ragged tooth shark season.  At least 4 humpback whales were also sighted heading north and their […]

We had our first humpback whale sighting of the season on Saturday!!  Much excitement was had by all and we will certainly be watching out for more arrivals of these beautiful animals on their migration up north.  In addition, I had my first large male raggie sighting on Saturday as these sharks now start to […]

Remarkably the ocean settled down rather quickly post the massive south westerly wind that blasted through for 2 days.  We had great conditions over the long weekend with superb sightings.  Cathedral produced a 3.5m scalloped hammerhead shark that stayed with us for around 10 minutes.  This large, robust animal constantly used the entire water column […]
