FULL DAY GREAT WHITE SHARK CAGE DIVING

Between the islands of Geyser Rock and Dyer Island is a narrow and shallow channel called 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 been dubbed “the supermarket for sharks”.

A short boat ride from Gansbaai, Shark Alley is ideal for those who wish to experience the thrill of getting up close and personal with these giant predators, but who do not possess a dive certification. Your cage dive takes place just metres below the surface of the water so no diving experience is necessary.

A fin rises from the water and a shudder goes down your spine. 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.

On this tour you can get face to ragged face with this dreaded apex predator. You don’t need dive certification or experience as the cage that separates you from the Great White rests only a few metres below the surface of the water. Get ready for the marine encounter of a lifetime!
