Zambezis and Raggies on Protea Banks

The Tigershark season is slowly coming to its close. We still see them on the odd Baited Dive, but here the Zambezis ( = Bull Sharks ) are taking priority again.
While the tigers were dominant during the last three months, the bulls chose to keep a respectful distance.
We did see them on every Baited Dive, but they hardly came close to the bucket.
Now that the tigers are moving off, the bulls are back in touching distance to the divers. Beautiful
However,this time of the year is really all about the Sandtigers ( = Raggies )
They have arrived on Protea Banks on 12.May and have since steadily increased in numbers.
Yesterday we estimated over 100 raggies.
This is pretty unique in the world and an unbelievable sight.!!!
As divers calm down on the reef the sharks' curiosity brings them very close. Perfect for the awardwinning photo and unforgettable experience.
All this comes with perfect, really perfect weather and seaconditions.
