DIVE 3 – Baited Shark Dive: On the dive we sat with a Potato Bass and a few Protea bream eating up all the bait and then 10 Minutes later we had 1 Oceanic Blacktip shark popping in for about 20 Minutes then just left us hanging.
DIVE 4 – Southern Pinnacle: On our way down to the chilly reef we got to see 4 Potato Bass and then the exciting part came, we had the pleasure of seeing 4 Round Ribbontail Rays popping in and out between the divers.
