Shark Cage Diving - L'avventura incontra la conservazione!

Great experience, good day out… early start due to us being in Cape Town however trip to Shark place ment we were able to have a little sleep and was ready to go when we arrived. Transfer and driver were ace! Coffee and a small breakfast was waiting for us, then onto the briefing with Rubens. Straight forward stuff , nothing complicated just good common sense when doing an activity like this. Launchpad from the boat to the sea was fun, then we were about 20 mins to area where we dropped anchor. You then go into the cage by wrist band colour, just to point out if you want an air supply it will cost more….. we were in the cage for a good 20 mins and the crew try very hard to attract the Sharks so you see them face to face. Water can be a bit chilly so be prepared, wet suit and boots were supplied. Rubens films the trip where you can purchase on return to shore. Once back on shore a hot lunch was waiting. Then it was back on the transfer to Cape Town. Be advised it is a long day but very worthwhile. Cannot fault the service from all of the team, thanks👍

Surreal experience. We didn't find white sharks, which was already expected because of the orcas, and before the tour our guide had already made that clear. But we saw several brown sharks, a curious seal appeared, and also a huge ray. After the walk, we were welcomed with a very pleasant lunch.

Our family of five (three teens) enjoyed our cage dive. We arrived in Gansbaai at 8 am, had a hot breakfast and safety training before going on the boat. After a ten min drive to sea (beautiful views), we put on wet suits while the crew fastened the cage to the boat. Each person had two fifteen minute encounters where we saw many bronze shark swimming in front of our cage as well as a sea lion. We returned to shore by 10:30 am and went inside for a special edited video of our trip (a crew member used a go pro to capture sharks swimming/ all of us cage diving that could be purchased) and hot lasagne (it was a hit!). There was a bathroom to change into dry clothes. We finished up by 11 am. The crew was kind and worked hard to ensure everyone saw many sharks. The crew included marine biologists on board, working to collect data about the sharks. The experience felt environmentally friendly and the staff was knowledgeable. There were varying degrees of excitement in our family prior to this adventure (some excited and others very nervous), but at the end of it, everyone left smiling and happy that we did it! Thanks for a great morning! 🦈

Had a wonderful time. The crew was amazing and were able to see sharks, sting rays and seals. Would highly recommend!

Incredible experience, lots of excitement and the service met my expectations.

The team at White Shark Diving Company are the best. This had been a bucket list item for my son and I and it did not disappoint. We booked our trip from Canada and had many questions and the staff were prompt and super helpful and answered everything. Its an incredible experience. The crew are very professional and super knowledgeable about the sharks. The breakfast and lunch that you receive were great. A really great morning on a wonderful boat with an awesome captain and crew. They even supply you with towels which is helpful when you are travelling. Even though we didn't see great white sharks we had 5- 6 bronze nosed sharks, and one crazy seal which were exciting to experience. Unfortunately the great whites have been driven out of this area by killer whales that hunt them for their liver which is really sad. Never the less we saw a lot of sharks and had an awesome experience. We would do this trip again in a heart beat.

Very organized. Helped get wetsuits sized and even helped pull on the tight suit. They have plenty of sizes for all. Knew their shark knowledge and great hosts. The lasagna is actually very good at the end. Copper/bronze whalers are about all you get at this point due to the white shark orca kill off. Very rare to see apparently and same for us. It's a cool experience though. We drove ourselves from Cape town. Did breakfast, diving and lunch then went to stranveld vineyards then cape agulhas. Long day but the whale coastal drive back into strand was worth it.

We had an amazing shark cage diving experience in Gansbaai. The team was professional and made us feel safe at all times. Seeing the sharks up close was absolutely thrilling and unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique adventure!

It was a great experience. I would recommend upgrading to the scuba equipment it makes it easier to see. It was a great crew that was very customer focused.

Fabulous trip saw bronze sharks up to 3 metres. Excellent crew and felt very safe. Breakfast abd a nice lasagne provided after boat trip which went down well
