Full Day Great White Shark Cage Diving - W. Cape - Cape Town - Garden Route

Combine goosebumps with education and relaxation on a luxury boat in the company of experienced experts and researchers! Get ready for the marine encounter of a lifetime! As you brave the shark cage and come within inches of this dreaded apex predator. You don’t need dive certification or any previous diving experience as the cage that separates you from the Great White rests only a few metres below the surface of the water.

Learn how to distinguish between a male and female shark and how to identify a specific shark by its unique dorsal fin and scars. The great white shark has been terrifyingly etched into popular culture as a killer and is considered the most fearsome of marine predators. However, these fascinating creatures are often misunderstood and do not actively seek out human prey. As their numbers decrease, it is becoming a privilege to be able to have a first-hand encounter with the Great White.

Sail between the islands of Geyser Rock and Dyer Island, a narrow and shallow channel appropriately named Shark Alley – reputed to be the world’s best place for Great White shark cage diving. Due to the resident seal colonies in the area, Shark Alley has also been dubbed “the supermarket for sharks”.

On this incredible boat tour not only will you have the chance to see sharks, but you may also spot friendly dolphins, whales, seals and penguins, as well as several bird species.
