Great White Shark Diving Travel Reviews

Jul 17, 2007
If you are a bit adventurous and want to have the experience of a lifetime, look into Cage Diving with Great Whites while in Cape Town.

You will have to travel approximately 2 hours by car to a small village on the Indian Ocean to begin your adventure. Most of the outfitters will pick you up directly at your hotel and transfer you to the dive location as part of the cost.

You will be fitted with a wet suit, and you will travel out into the bay. Once you reach your destination, they will lower the cage off of the side of the boat and you will be put into the cage in groups of 4. The crew will attempt to attract the sharks with chum and large pieces of fish in the water. There is NO GUARANTEE that you will see sharks.

For those of you wondering if you need to be able to swim or have Scuba experience, you do not need either to do this particular dive. The cage actually remains attached to the side of the boat and you climb in with a mask/goggles and wetsuit. The top portion of the cage stays above the water line. As the sharks approach the cage, you dive to the bottom of the cage (Approximately 5 feet to the bottom) hold your breath and witness the sharks feet from your face. Once the excitement passes, you simply resurface and wait for the next shark to approach.

If time permits, you will have 2 opportunities to get into the cage. During my visit, we were on the water for about 2 hours and within those two hours we saw nearly 15 Great Whites. It was amazing.

If you are prone to seasickness, this may not be the activity for you! There were at least 5 people that got sick on my boat eventhough from my perspective it was not that rough.

You will have an amazing time.
