We had two sharks in particular today who were providing us with all the action! The day started and ended with the same shark, a 4.0m male with a prominent wound marking on his dorsal fin, who continuously used the low visibility to surprise Alfred, our bait handler, from below! Our other active shark was also on the larger side, around 3.9m, and was responsible for the majority of the up close and personal passes for the divers in the cage. Believe it or not, neither of these two were our largest shark of the day, that award goes to a 4.3m beauty who impressed us all as she swam by the cage. The sharks seemed to be using today’s poor visibility to their advantage, which always provides a day full of entertainment…


If you are looking to get up close and personal with the great white shark then Cage Diving in South Africa, and more specifically with Marine Dynamics, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won’t want to miss.
