Highlights
  • Seal Island - A Typical Day Diving With Sharks
    1.Meet at our office next to the yacht club.
    2.Have breakfast while chatting to us and a safety briefing.
    3.Board the boat and ride to the shark site.
    We like out clients to be there an hour before launch time , have some breakfast, and listen to the safety and boat trip briefing.

The trip from the dock to the shark site is only about ten minutes.
The crew will provide a briefing concerning the cage diving on the boat.
The baits and chum are natural marine products. We do not use anything that is not natural to the sharks and the environment. It can take several minutes or several hours for the first shark to appear and while we enjoy a high success rate, you need to understand that nothing is guaranteed
Once we have sharks at the boat, the cage will go into the water and the diving will begin. Topside viewing is exciting for the non-diver to take some action shots.
A trip generally lasts for +- four hours and we offer a light lunch, snacks and drinks on the boat and there is plenty of opportunity to chat to our staff and ask questions. Upon return to the dock, we offer afternoon tea and hand out the certificate of the day to all our guests.

What's Included
  • Lunch
  • Snacks

Additional Information

Mossel Bay is a vibrant region abundant with a variety of sea life such as various fish species, seals, whales, dolphins, penguins, other marine birds, and even occasional orcas. Notably, it’s also home to the fearsome Great White Sharks. Because of this rich biodiversity, we chose this location for our shark cage diving headquarters, situated on South Africa’s scenic Garden Route. The primary dive location is the renowned Shark Island.

Disappointing and poor customer service - My son went with three of his friends - second visit in two years for my son who was given a voucher after his last visit as there was no sharks I know that a shark presence can’t be gauranteed but again no sharks! This time my son was told he wouldn’t be issued with another voucher - I sent an email to the company to complain but at the time of writing this review I have not had a response!

Tour was supposed to... - Tour was supposed to start at 7am. The day before it was changed to 7:30 and then later to 8:30am. Minimal briefing finally started at 9:00am. Instead of rotating people through the cage when the sharks finally arrived, they let the first group have almost an hour and the second group 15 mins. Snacks and refreshments consisted of small packets of chips and bottles of water. The staff were more interested in the playlist than anything else. Regardless, the sharks as expected were amazing and spectacular.

Very disappointed - We had this tour booked for a few months. Initially the commas were fine, using WhatsApp with Eileen at shark zone. However, the day before our planned tour, we were informed that the time of the tour had change to 12.00 from 10.00, and as we were arriving by cruise ship, that also potentially left us short of time. However, when we arrived at the offices they were empty. Not just no people, I mean empty - no seats , no desk, no computer, absolutely nothing. There was a cleaner mopping the floor who had no clue what we were talking about and nothing else. We went to a nearby tourist information office and the chap there knew White Shark - he phoned them on our behalf and we were told the tour had been cancelled. The following dialogue between us, Shark and Shark Zone was confused and vague. They tried to suggest the cruise line - Norwegian Dawn - had booked up the morning slots. This was an absolute fabrication. No excursions whatsoever had been booked by the ship later verified when we arrived back on board. So we literally found out the tour was cancelled literally when we arrived at the “offices”, and no one was there. We got our money back without issue, but the point is that the comms were dire, no one contacted us at any point, we were effectively lied to for the reasonings around changing the cruise time. The reason for the PM cancellation was given as weather and sea conditions, which is fair enough as it was windy, but had we been informed in advance , we could have made alternative plans for our stay in Mossel Bay.

No communication at all. - This company has the worst response time for e mail. We booked a trip for Great White diving. It was cancelled the day before. Was asked if we can move it to another day. Mind you we travelled from the USA to do this. We have other plans booked I was told National Geographic has blood their boats for two weeks. We stayed in Mossel bay as it was on our way to Cape Town. I am not sure whom it is to blame. Jaman booking agency/ Trip advisor or the diving company. I could have saved myself a lot of time and traveled to another town to see sharks (probably not Great whites though ) as they are not found in other locations. Summary get your act together.
