Gansbaai: Shark Cage Diving Experience

South Africa has privileged access to great white sharks … if you know where to go and when.

Enjoy great white sharks face-to-face. Observing and diving with these creatures under the correct conditions and guidance is a wonderful experience. Even ‘anti-shark’ people return from an expedition or diving trip with love, and certainly respect, for the great white.

This tour is without doubt the most successful white shark diving tour in the world: Working in the unique marine area off the southern Cape coast, the skippers log more contact with great white sharks than anyone else worldwide.

Tour itinerary:

· Breakfast at the stunning Lodge

The continental breakfast consists of freshly made muffins, quiches, yogurt, cereals, toast and cold meats, tea and coffee.

· Your day at sea and a lecture on board

The skipper of the day gives a short lecture on the Great White Shark and explains how the tour supplier works with the sharks in the area. You will spend 2 to 4 hours at sea, depending on how often the sharks visit the boat. Be sure to ask as many questions as you can think up!

· Diving and viewing

The cage takes 6 people at a time. Each person spends about 20 minutes in the cage. All scuba equipment, including 7 mm wetsuits, is provided – you don’t need a scuba licence to cage dive.
· Afternoon refreshments

On your return to dry land, you will return to the Lodge for a light lunch.

· A DVD of your trip

A professional videographer will film your trip.
