Shark Cage Diving

Enjoy a delicious breakfast and discuss current sightings, indemnities, wetsuits, and equipment before heading off to board our custom-built 36 ft, 4-ton white shark dive catamaran – ‘Shark Team’. We limit her to 20 passenger capacity plus 5 crew to ensure your comfort and viewing pleasure throughout your adventure experience. You get to meet one of our intrepid skippers, a qualified paramedic, a Dive Master and our friendly crew and enjoy a short talk on shark anatomy and behavior. We explain how White Shark Projects works with the sharks in the area and how you will spend the next couple of hours diving and viewing these wondrous predators in their natural habitat.

You are fully briefed on all procedures and the action begins as our crew ‘ scents’ the cruise area and you wait with bated breath for your initial glimpse of the first shark fin. Sharks are usually wary at first and we wait a while for them to settle and then lower the dive cage. Our first guests enter the cage (which takes 5 – 6 people) and spend about 20 minutes face to face with the sharks! We will work with individual sharks and you can enjoy topside viewing during your wait as shark activity is often close to the surface. In fact, Great Whites are also known for their ‘ spy hopping’ – breaching right out of the water in pursuit of prey! Topside viewing can yield a lot of those action shots!

Marine Big 5 Trip

Immerse yourself in the Dyer Island ecosystem and meet the Marine Big 5: whales, dolphins, seals, sharks, and endangered African penguins. Depending on the season, you may encounter Humpback, Bryde’s, or Southern Right Whales. Unique to our company, observe sharks from the boat year-round. Visit Geyser Rock to see thousands of Cape Fur seals, African penguins, and various seabirds, while exploring the bay for playful dolphins.
