Fantastic Experience, Sharks and Whales up close!
Written by edna, August 1 2012
The trip out on the rib was a fantastic experience. We got to see several Great White Sharks at the cage diving boat and then a few penguins and literally thousands of seals at Dyer Island itself. Afterwards we went to see the Southern Right Whales and we were lucky enough to encounter several mating groups of 4 or 5 whales some of them with calves up close. The staff upon the boat were all very passionate about the sea life, at one point we looped around (pardon the pun!) to pick up some loose rope to ensure the whales didn’t get tangled in it, and they provided great knowledge around the marine life in the area. Also the boat itself was excellent, having a third deck gave great views down into the water which was particularly useful when viewing the Great Whites.
