Shark Cage Diving
White Shark Diving
In South Africa, we have the privilege of access to Great White Sharks … if you know when and where to go.
And now the general public, too, can enjoy first-hand experience of the Great White Shark. Observing and diving with Great White Sharks 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 this creature.
White Shark Projects is without doubt the most successful White Shark Dive Organisation in the world: Working in the unique marine area off the Southern Cape coast, our skippers log more contact with Great White Sharks than anyone else worldwide.
This is our day …
• Pickup and scenic transfer
We can collect you from Cape Town or Hermanus and drive you to ‘White Shark Lodge’, our home base in Kleinbaai. Alternatively we can arrange for car hire, helicopter or micro light transfer.
• Breakfast at our stunning Lodge
Our continental breakfast consists of yoghurt, cereals, toast and cold meats, tea and coffee.
• Day at sea and a lecture on board
The skipper of the day gives a short lecture on shark anatomy and behaviour. He explains how we work with the sharks in the area.
We spend 4 to 6 hours at sea, depending on the frequency of shark visits to the boat.
• Diving and viewing
Our cage takes 2 to 3 people at a time. Each person spends approximately 20 minutes in the cage. All scuba equipment, including 7mm wetsuits, is provided – you don’t need a scuba licence to cage dive.
• Lunch on board
Our lunch boxes are packed with bread rolls (with a variety of fillings), sweets, crisps and assorted juices and soft drinks.
• Afternoon tea
Upon our return to the harbour, you are invited to tea, coffee, biscuits or scones at our Lodge.
• DVD
We have a professional videographer on all our trips. A DVD can be purchased separately for R350 per copy. If you pre-book a DVD when booking for your trip, you can have this for R300. We also stock underwater disposable camera’s at the lodge that can be purchased for R130.
Our boat and crew
Shark Team is an 11-meter, 4-ton catamaran with all the latest electronic and safety equipment. The boat was custom-built for shark diving, so there is plenty of space for everyone to view the sharks in comfort.
Our crew consists of experienced Skippers, a qualified Paramedic, a Dive Master and friendly, helpful staff. They operate with the benefit of 15 years’ experience in Great White Shark research, conservation and eco-tourism, behind them.
