You will also come away knowing more a lot more about sharks and what we do aid their conservation.

Your day begins with a scrumptious buffet breakfast at ‘White Shark Lodge’. Suitably fortified for the day, this is followed by the excitement of the boat launch and a full, adrenalin-packed day at sea, around Dyer Island and Geyser Rock.This area is aptly named ‘Shark Alley’ and is inundated with African Jackass Penguins, Cape Fur Seals and, in season, Southern Right Whales! As chum clouds the water, we wait, for the first dorsal fin to appear. It seldom takes long. Anticipation mounts as the cage is gently lowered and guests ready themselves for that first electrifying encounter with a Great White Shark. It’s that once-in-a-lifetime rush as the solitude of the sea engulfs you and you come face to face with one of the most powerful predators on earth.Shark cage diving in South Africa is an adventure experience that will leave you breathless!
