RAGGED-TOOTH SHARKS EVERYWHERE TO BE SEEN ON PROTEA BANKS

27 July 2018 | PROTEA BANKS

Current: none
Viz: 15m milky
Sea Temp: 20 degrees Celsius

DIVE 1 – Baited Shark Dive: Baited started slow with 2 Oceanic Blacktip sharks, 2 Potato Bass and 1 Ragged-tooth shark. After awhile the sharks decided each to bring a friend so we then had 2 Ragged-tooth sharks, Blacktips went overboard again and we ended up with 10 Oceanic Blacktip sharks and 4 Potato Bass.

DIVE 2 – Northern Pinnacle: On the reef we had 100’s of Ragged-tooth sharks. We had so much fish activity from small reef fish to nice Cape Yellowtail. As we reached the end of our bottom time we came across a shoal of Ragged- tooth sharks and just behind them a Tiger shark turned and came straight to us. Mid water we had 9 Oceanic Blacktip sharks, 5 Ragged-tooth sharks and 1 Zambezi (Bull) shark.
