Early morning shark predation pic

Just going through some of our great white shark pics to add to the website.

Here is a typical early morning scene, where a great white shark has made a succerssful predation on a cape fur seal. The gulls are hovering waiting their turn for their scraps.

Simonstown False Bay, at dawn

Here is a nice pic Rob took of Simonstown False Bay.

I found this joke funny.

Q: why did the mommy shark and daddy shark get divorced

A: they no longer loved each other

( okay, so I have a weird sense of humour!!)

Can an old dog learn new tricks

So I have been promising you pics of whats been happening on the recent film shoots.

Rob bought a new computer for his footage and it has an editing program for raw footage and its bloody complicated to use.

Also with the added burden of getting all the filing ready for VAT month, trying to sort out PAYE and about 75 emails a day and to top it of its school holiday's, it doesn't leave much time to do anything else.

But, I will persevere and hope to have a few pics by this afternoon.

A day in the Life of a shark crew member

 

Karen thought it would be a great idea to have some of the crew blog about their shark trips. I asked Robert Jennings, our latest crew member to give it a bash. He gave me an apprehensive look that said " What, who me? Oh No!!"

So without further adieu, here is Roberts first blog.

Yesterday we left the harbour in a blanket of fog, cold and dark. With the aid of the GPS we were able to find our way to Seal Island. Navigating through the fog reminded me of the movie “Dead Calm”.

The sea was calm and oily with just the outboards for company. The faster we went the wetter my waterproofs became.
The sun finally came out just after ten burning off the last of the fog around the island.

We had anchored in section 5 of Seal Island, about 50m from the shore. With the sun out and the guests relaxing on the fly bridge we began to lure the Great Whites up from the deep. Within minutes we had a player around the boat, which stayed with us for about an hour and a half. The guests were well pleased taking photos and enjoying their cigars.

At around 12ish, we hauled the cage in, anchored up and we were back on our way to port. Fifty meters from the port we slowed down to view the first three Southern Right whales, of the season. That brought out more cheers from our guests and the final cigars of the day.

The afternoon trip brought us to tears with laughter, as we had a group of IPL supporters who knew nothing about diving or sharks. Most of the time was spent dressing them up in wetsuits, gloves, boots, hoods, masks and weight belts. When finally we got one of the guests into the cage, he said he can not stay in the water because it is too salty!

The day ended well with them seeing two sharks and eating all the sandwiches and snacks. What they could not finish they took with them. That was the first, till next time.

Watch out for those chairs......

New Website

Last year I wanted to "refresh" our website, and stay in touch with the latest trends.
Our web hosts WSI have now completely revamped our website, and I think it looks really great.

Bookings were really slow in January and I was hoping that this would not be a trend for our shark season. Now over the last two weeks, we have received a lot of bookings, especially for June and July, so if you are planning on joining us, please book sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

Please feel free to visit our website and comment on the "new look".
