The conditions at Seal Island this morning were stunning; milky seas with a gentle swell and a clear sky overhead. We observed a pod of over 100 common dolphin and a number of seal groups leaving the island as the sun rose over the mountains surrounding False Bay.
Well, working with Great White Sharks is not always glamorous. There are many tough days out there with poor sea conditions and of course sharks not behaving themselves!

False Killer Whale & Oceanic Bottelnose Dolphin Encounter
Written by Monique FallowsVenturing off Cape Point into the open ocean often provides great opportunities for seeing a variety of cetacean species (whales and dolphins).
Kat Hodgson is our newest crew member on White Pointer II and will be writing regular blogs on our shark sightings this season.
After a month of pretty bad weather we anxiously watched the forecast of good weather stay true for a great opportunity to head of Cape Point in search of Mako and Blue sharks.
Since our extremely exciting time spent with a pod of 4 orcas in May 2012 we have been impatiently waiting for April 2013. This time of the year False Bay is normally full with baitfish which stimulates a very diverse eco system.
The shark is one of the oldest and most misunderstood residents of the ocean. Having inhabited the planet for 440 million years, this steely swimmer has already survived some of the world’s largest natural extinctions; so why is it that the shark is currently on its way to extinction?
Dear Shark Lovers,
March has been a busy month with the return of the Great White Sharks to Seal Island, a very brave Short-tailed Devil Ray, a tragic event of stranded False Killer Whales on Noordhoek beach and a big storm at Kalk Bay Harbour.

False Killer Whale Stranding on Noordhoek Beach
Written by Monique Fallows
The chaotic stranding event of 55 False Killer whales on Long beach 4 years ago was fresh in my mind when we received an early morning phone call this past Sunday. 18 False Kiler whales had been reported stranded on Noordhoek beach. We immediately got our wetsuits and gear and raced for Noordhoek to see how we could help.
