Highlights
  • 1 Swart St - Our quests will have snacks at the dive center, change into their wetsuits and then head to the boat.

After a short boat trip out to sea, we will begin to attract the sharks and the divers will get in the cage. No snorkeling or diving experience is required.

Six divers are allowed in the cage at a time, and we will rotate divers. Keep your eyes open for a variety of marine life that may visit us!

We are very often visited by our bronze whaler sharks and cape fur seals. Less frequent sightings include short-tail stingrays, sunfish, sevengill sharks and the great white shark. We often see southern right whales on the boat trip as well (depending on the season).

Once back at the dive center, our guests will enjoy nice warm showers and a hearty lunch with a stunning view.

Incredible experience and fantastic company - Cape Shark Adventures provided a fantastic service and experience. Our package included breakfast, fruit, and tea/coffee before our trip. We also had a hot lunch after the trip which included fresh bread which was delicious. The shark cafe diving itself was well organised, perfectly safe, and thoroughly enjoyable. We saw 12 sharks and got to spend lots of time in the cage with them. The method of attracting the sharks seemed very ethical. The adrenaline you get gives you such a buzz!!! It’s easily one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life. The staff, especially Jade and Tilla, were so knowledgeable about sharks and their habitat. The crew on the boat also helped if anyone was nervous. I would definitely recommend this experience and company to anyone.
