Unforgettable shark cage diving experience - Went shark cage diving and it was absolutely amazing! 🦈 The experience of seeing the sharks up close was incredible and unforgettable the moment you get into the cage your fear of sharks go away when you see such an incredible animal. The crew was professional and super friendly, making everyone feel safe and excited. It’s a day I’ll never forget. The food were great too! Overall, an awesome company and a day I’ll never forget – highly recommend!

The most organised company I've ever used for a boat trip 🙌 - A superb experience start to finish, this company has got it down to a T! When you arrive you help yourself to scrambled eggs, toast, any drink you like. Safety briefing is thorough from Keith and entertaining. Sign your waiver (very important incase you loose any fingers or toes 🤣) you also write your meal request on a sheet of paper....every type of dietary request is catered for) You are also shown how to get in and out the cage and breathing is explained. The wetsuits were great with a front zip and the booties were very comfortable. The water was pretty cold and 15 min dive was enough as your hands get cold. We saw around 15 bronze whaler sharks, 1 very big stingray and a seal. Visibility was good too. On the second dive of 10-15min we saw even more feeding action.
Once your 2 dives were complete you can take off the wetsuit, towels are provided and water and chips are on board if you want them. I would say its far better being in the water than just watching but that's not an option for everyone i understand. Once back on shore you have any drink again and your chosen meal (usually lasagne unless you chose otherwise) As I'm vegan I had an amazing jacket potatoe with vegetables and a tomatoe based sauce- it was just what you needed after being in cold water! We watched our video footage of pur trip which is R350 for a link to download and then Keith the conservationist explained about different shark activity and why we don't see great whites often, he is very knowledgeable. Jeff was our skipper and our journey was great, especially coming back to shore- its not the first time he's mounted the boat onto the tractor! Seamless work. Fantastic crew- really sorry I didn't remember all your names! You were all really friendly, helpful and fun with safety a priority.
My only comment would be- put a tip box visible or get a member of crew to help people off the boat (steps were provided so very easy) so they are more inclined to tip you! You deserve the tips!
Yes the shark cage diving is more than other types of boat trips but it's the crew that make an OK trip turn into an amazing experience, once in a lifetime memory.
Thank you again for all your effort and energy you put into the trip, you have nailed it!

Fantastic trip - Great experience, crew was friendly and professional. Lots of shark encounters with bronze sharks. Would have loved to see great white sharks but the company can’t control the sharks/environment

Encounter with bronze sharks - Meeting sharks is a fascinating experience! We were conducted with very good guidance, safety and cordiality. We met with bronze sharks. Unfortunately, we did not see the white shark :( But, anyway, the cage downhill is very worth it (and I could go down twice!). I highly recommend!

Sharks and a whale spotted. - An early start of 8am was tricky due to rush hour traffic around Hermanus. We were slightly late so missed breakfast. Due to the low tide we launched around 9am, after a safety briefing.
Time on the water was around an hour, with two dives lasting approx 15 minutes each. We saw plenty of sharks close up as the water was constantly chummed.
We were given a lasagne dish on return and watched the footage of our dive. It lasted about 5 minutes.
We had expected the trip to take much longer, as the advert said to allow 5 to 6 hours. I think in all we were done in 3.
Possibly overpriced fir this experience.

shark at very close range - really very special experience, so close to sharks (and stingray) to see. the water was not very clear and there were also not many animals (3 sharks of 1 species, 1 stingray and a sea lion) but everyone was very satisfied with the trip

Fins belong on sharks - We were lucky enough to see sharks during our tour. Staff were nice and seemed to focus on preservation, which is super important. The only two things that made me remove one star were: no soap in either one of the washrooms and, most importantly, the crew had us change into the swimming suits when we were already in the boat instead of the shop, which makes it automatically harder; also, the sea was very choppy that day, which made changing very dangerous, and there were a lot of people and no seats for everyone to change at the same time. Please have everyone change before boarding.

Nice experience but a bit expensive - Crew were great and very attentive , totally transparent about the lack of activity, there was one shark which they’d manage to attract after a while, however, we paid for 4 to dive , but with it being rushed, one of our 4 didn’t get a chance to go in the water; it would have been nice if all 4 of us had got to go in, not the company’s fault at all, they did explain at the start, but would have been a nice gesture if they’d offered the difference back for the person who didn’t dive, just a suggestion for the company if they encounter this again.
