Diving in False Bay, S Africa last week, the water conditions were very challenging with high winds, surge, green water and poor visibility. We decided to go for it anyway and were greatly rewarded with dozens of curious sevengill sharks, including this one photographed by Kip Evans.

Thanks to I Am Water, Scubapro, Light and Motion Dive, Sustainable Seas Trust & SEA Pledge, Shark Explorers and National Geographic Society for making this tour a reality!
