Private boat charter (no transfers)

Gansbaai

Activity Description

Getting into the cage with the sharks around, is truly the most breath-taking experience you will ever live to remember. When feeding actively around the boat, the sharks may occasionally brush their tail against the cage, but will never attack the cage. They are very curious though and often come close-up to the cage, taking a closer look at the diver. A persona eye-to-eye encounter with this awesome animal, is therefore guaranteed to get the adrenaline going!

White shark diving up close and personal;
Our cage is situated next to the side of the boat and once ready to take the dive, our Dive Master would assist the diver into the opening at the top of the cage. Once in position, the divers head would be no more than half a meter below the surface. A free-board of approx. 30cm allows the diver to rise to the surface and effectively communicate with the Dive Master on the boat. Divers are also able to secure themselves by holding onto the convenient cross bars, situated at the top of the cage.

Diving takes place on a quick and effective rotational system, with 3 to 4 divers down at a time. Once the rotation is completed it will be repeated, therefore ensuring that each diver can take as many dives as possible. Time spent in the cage depends on weather / swell conditions and shark activity. We rarely have more than 16 divers on board at a time, ensuring maximum cage diving time for all.
