GREAT WHITE SHARK CAGE DIVING HOLIDAYS - SOUTH AFRICA

Enter the domain of the Great White shark from the safety of a shark cage and witness these uber-predators in their natural environment as they come over and check you out.  Shark cage diving has been a popular coastal activity for some time now, and South Africa offers some of the best sites in the world to view the great numbers of sharks in their natural habitat.



South Africa has a number of bays, and small islands that support large colonies of seals and birds, as well as rich stocks of ocean fish which helps attract large numbers of the predators to the shores of this country. There is also large number of tour operators taking visitors out to see the sharks, so getting on a tour should not be a problem.



The main attraction in South African waters is of course the Great White Shark, although you will probably see any number of other varieties as well. The best time of year to experience shark cage diving is between April and October. November to March is their mating season, but even so, Great White Sharks can be encountered 95% of the time all year round in South African waters.



There are several excellent sites for cage diving around the South African coast. These include Hout Bay, Gansbaai, Dyer Island, KleinBaai, Seal Island, Mossel Bay, Simonstown. In fact Cape Town has a plethora of operators that can accommodate all your cage diving needs.

Because with cage diving you don't actually dive into the ocean BUT stay in the safety of the cage, you do not have to be a qualified diver. Shark Cage diving in South Africa is strictly controlled and cages are custom built for safety and durability.
