Today was a great warm up to the great white shark diving I’ll be doing tomorrow. Today, I did two shore dives and after a rocky start to the day with a new dive shop that does things weird, I wasn’t holding out much hope. Things weren’t looking much better when we were talking about our dive experience. He asked how many years I had been diving, I told him 14. He told me, he has been diving for 4 months. Great.

However my fears were quickly put aside when the dive guide told me that we were headed to shark alley to see cow sharks and he wasn’t kidding. It wasn’t long into the dive when I was mesmerized by the amazing kelp forest when the cow sharks began to appear. They feed at night so they are docile during the day but their sinister smiles weren’t leaving me very confident. Over 20 pass throughs with about 7 different sharks left me pretty breathless.

Max Depth: 43ft
Bottom Time: 52 min

The second site was called The Boulders and was pretty cool in itself. Unfortunately, my camera battery died pretty early in the trip, so I didn’t get too many pictures. The rocks were full of life and I saw some really huge cray fish that I wouldn’t want to run into in a dark alley.
