Whales in Pearly Beach! Marine Blog
Written by September 22 2021
We encounters four southern right whales in Pearly Beach and spotted a couple more in the distance close to shore. The mother and her calf were relaxed alongside the vessel where the other two adults displayed some mating behaviour. As it was such a sunny and warm day we encountered plenty of cape fur seals in the waters of he famous Shark Alley. Back in the shallow waters we were lucky to see your Bronze whaler sharks around the shark cage diving boat.
What species did we see today?
