Nani is a truly remarkable and very special shark, though her story is a somber one. Likely a victim of finning, she is missing her entire dorsal fin, left pectoral fin, and the base of her caudal tail, making her instantly recognisable and a poignant reminder of human impacts on sharks.

She was first identified in August 2025 and has only been seen a handful of times. Despite these severe injuries, Nani continues to navigate her environment, showing resilience and serving as a symbol of survival amidst adversity.

Saja is one of our most familiar sharks, first recorded in June 2025 and already seen over 36 times. At around 3 meters, she is relatively small, yet she carries herself with remarkable confidence, often approaching the site more boldly than many larger individuals.

She is easily identified by the hook on her right side, a distinctive feature that makes her stand out during encounters. As one of our most frequent visitors, Saja provides valuable opportunities for observation and has quickly become a well-known presence in the area.
