The shark dive was an incredible experience! I’d never been diving before, but the instruction was really good and I felt very comfortable the scuba gear. I thought I would be more scared, but the guides are great and the experience was very safe. Not only were the sharks amazing, but the rays and other sea creatures were fantastic to see up close. I highly recommend checking this out if you are in Sydney, it’s a a one of a kind experience.

Join this tour for the underwater experience of a lifetime as you scuba dive or snorkel with the Great White Sharks of South Africa! Take the opportunity during your stay in Cape Town to travel to the channels around Dyer Island and get up close and personal with the animal on top of the ocean’s food chain.

Inclusions:

* Lunch
* Entrance fees
* Hotel pickup and drop off
* Snorkel and scuba dive gear
* Professional narration by tour guide
* Conducted in English

Travel to Gansbaai and enjoy a light breakfast before proceeding to the channel by Dyer Island, a short boat trip of approximately 20 minutes. Named after Samson Dyer in the 19th century, Dyer Island is a breeding ground for marine birdlife, while nearby Geyser Rock is home to approximately 50,000 Cape Fur Seals. As a prime breeding site for these animals, the area is a natural magnet for the ocean’s deadliest predator.

Check out the sharks with a surface view, before slipping into your wetsuit to join these misunderstood creatures in their natural habitat. Choose to snorkel, or scuba cage dive (must hold a valid scuba diving certificate) with the magnificent predators in their natural feeding ground. This is a rare opportunity to share the water with the top ocean predator, and feel the ultimate adrenaline rush as it looks you in the eye with curiosity and maybe a touch of menace!

If you don’t want to enter the water, you can remain on the boat and enjoy the surface viewing. Being a surface feeder by nature the sharks swim close to the boat, therefore view onboard is superb and photo opportunities are lurking everywhere. If you are lucky, you may even get the opportunity to witness a spectacular breach as these huge creatures launch themselves clear of the water surface in the hunt for the next seal meal!

The Great White shark cage diving season can be divided into three periods:

* High season : May to October
* Intermediate : April, November, December, and January
* Low season : January, February and March
