Today, we served breakfast for a group of 13 Belgians, all very excited about their shark dive with White Shark Projects today. They came into our shop (The Great White Adventure Centre), and proceeded to take over the shop with excited chatter while looking through clothing and other shark-related goods. It was heartwarming to see people so excited to see the Great White, and there is nothing better than hosting clients who share our passion.
The weather today was really bizarre though, with a cold morning/warm afternoon one-two combo which tries to ruin everyones day, but the sheer spirit of the Belgian group couldn't have been broken by a thunderstorm and gale force winds.
They came back into the shop before leaving Gansbaai, and told us that they saw 5 sharks today, which is still an excellent number given the conditions were not what we would call a perfect day. Abnormalities in weather leads to abnormalities in the sea, so the swell picked up when it should have remained consistent with the flat seas from last week.
One of the Belgian ladies told us they had an exquisite time despite the poor visibility, which pleases us immensely.
Its a group like this that debunks the theory that its pointless going shark diving in February.
On a more amusing note, its funny how similar Afrikaans is to Dutch (or atleast Belgian Dutch). We communicated without any hassle with us speaking Afrikaans and them speaking Dutch. Incredible.
