Meet sharks face to face! - The team at White Shark Diving Company is fantastic! From the comfortable transfer from Cape Town to Gansbaai with a super friendly driver, to the warm welcome and professional diving experience, everything was perfect. We felt safe and well cared for the entire time. The dive itself was unforgettable. Being in the water with sharks was thrilling and deeply moving. Sharks came quickly and we even saw a seal. Good visibility, lots of sharks, the wet suits kept us comfortable. After the dive, we had lunch, watched the videos, and learned more about shark conservation through a short talk. The company’s partnership with a research group is inspiring, and their gift shop has beautiful shirts and hoodies to remember the day. Highly recommended! A unique and unforgettable experience in this amazing country! Important note: The water is likely to be cold, and there’s a good chance of chilly wind. Visibility in the water can vary, and the number, species, and timing of shark appearances depend entirely on nature — not the company. If that’s a concern for you, consider choosing the shark viewing trip, where you stay dry and warm. This is a nature-based experience, and it’s important to embrace its unpredictability rather than complain about things beyond human control.

DO THIS! - The most fabulous adventure! Everyone was incredible in helping us arrange this trip and providing lots of good information about what to expect. The boat staff were so informative and helpful, and we felt very safe. The communication by Lauren-Lee and Amanda was always prompt and friendly. They helped us arrange a private tour up the coast from Cape Town the day before our dive with Shaheen, who felt like a friend by the end of the day. It was AWESOME!

Shark cage - Absolutely brilliant experience . We had a long 2hr drive to get there but once there the adrenaline kicked in and couldn’t wait to get in . Everything was done professionally and the video we got is a great reminder of a fantastic time .

Friendly sharks! - Beautiful experience organized and cared for in every aspect. With just a few minutes of sailing aboard a comfortable and spacious boat, you arrive at the spot where, after some bait thrown to attract the attention of the sharks, you see them coming and you are really in close contact with them by diving into the cage. Diving in complete safety suitable for everyone, including children. I saw beautiful animals swimming around me and I never had the feeling of fear. The dive center that made this dream come true is very organized and they are really professional. Also, as soon as you arrive they offer you breakfast and when you return you have lunch included in the price. If I have a chance I will go back!

My Best Dive Experience Yet - My experience with White Shark Diving Co. was outstanding. I’ve dived all over the world, and they were by far the best I’ve encountered. The crew was exceptionally professional, deeply knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire experience. I felt safe, informed, and well taken care of from start to finish. I highly recommend them.

Exemplary tour with fantastic sea life and staff. - What a great experience. The staff and crew were so knowledgeable and informative. We got a nice breakfast and delicious lunch. I was disappointed to learn that the great white sharks were not in the area anymore because of a lot of things but we did see several copper sharks, the largest species of sting ray and a sea lion that hung around. I highly recommend this tour company. They are doing great research on the sea animals in the area and provide a great service to customers. We were also able to buy a video of our trip at the end of the tour.
