About the Shark Cage Diving Trip:


On arrival in Gansbaai, you will be met by the crew and enjoy a light meal before embarking on this thrill-seeking Shark Diving Adventure.


A 10-15 minute boat ride will take you out to Shark Alley (between Geyser Rock and Dyer Island, home to one of the largest seal colonies in Southern Africa.


Boats stay out at sea for around 2 - 3 hours depending on weather, sea conditions, and shark activity.


Gansbaai is currently seeing Copper / Bronze Whaler Sharks. Once the first shark makes its appearance you will kit up and get into the cage where you can get up close and personal with these magnificent creatures. Three to five sharks are usually encountered on a trip but if you're lucky, you may see more. 


Divers get approx. 10-15min. in the cage to ensure everyone gets a chance to view the sharks. Any subsequent dives are rotated amongst the remaining divers wishing to go back in the cage.


On return to shore, you will enjoy a light meal and view the Shark Diving footage of the day (available for purchase on the day).
