I especially appreciated the warm welcome that we received from the crew and other trip members alike, given that this was our first diving experience. You all made us feel right at home, so for that thank you!!

An even larger female came and hung around after “Lucy” left. Everyone was amazed by her sheer size and confidence cruising slowly and attempting to get the bait and keeping the wranglers on their toes.

All three dives were great, but the third dive was exceptional. “Lucy” and a number of young, assertive males put on quite a show. It truly was a grand finale!

When I got in there was a sea lion using the boat as cover with 2 female great whites and 2 males hunting it.

Many large sharks, the big females, are starting to arrive, with several individuals at 13ft plus and some as large as 15ft!

If scars are the beauty of the deep, “Lucy” is Miss Universe! And all the other sharks seem just as in awe of her as we are. She combines an incredible mix of grace and power.
