Tigersharks and Bullsharks on Protea Banks

Every Baited Dive we do , we have Bullsharks. This seems to be quite the norm on Protea Banks.
This time of the year we are also expecting Tigersharks to come and stay during the dive.
Today was such a day.
Excellent visibility ( 25m ) warm water ( 26C ) and we had a nice size Tiger for a good 60 mins on our Baited Dive.
Besides the Tiger we had 3 Bullsharks , one Black Tip, and a Dusky plus Hammerhead in the background.
Our Baited Dives are done at a depth of 12m and in order to give our divers the best value for money, we do not limit the time of the dive.
This means, each diver decides when he has had enough, or when the air runs out the diver surfaces. Most our Baited Dives therefore last between 80 and 90 mins.
Tigers and Bulls are very relaxed sharks which swim very slowly around the bucket and the divers. Because there is no hectic or hyped up sharks, the divers are equally relaxed and can concentrate on viewing and photographing the animals.
This is truely a unique experience .....
