WESTERN CAPE. – A great white shark was spotted on Wednesday during a shark diving excursion to Robben Island in False Bay. It is the first time since 2018 that African Shark Eco-Charters has sighted this impressive species on one of its excursions to the island.
African Shark Eco-Charters announced the sighting on social media and described it as a special and unexpected encounter. The shark was seen by crew and guests during the excursion. The operator indicated that his team would return to Robben Island on Thursday to see if the great white shark could be sighted again. However, the single sighting does not confirm that great white sharks have permanently returned to the area.
