WHITE SHARK CAGE DIVING - My sister and I recently had the incredible opportunity to go white shark cage diving. Initially, we were both quite nervous about how it would all unfold, especially with how these experiences are often portrayed in movies. However, once we met the diver, they took the time to explain every detail of the process, which helped ease our fears. As it turned out, the experience was nothing like the intense, chaotic scenes you see in films. We were given plenty of time in the water to truly appreciate the sharks and the entire environment. It was such an amazing and surreal experience. I’m so glad we decided to do it, and I feel incredibly proud to have crossed it off my bucket list!

Amazing - It was very fun, the staff were friendly, we had a lot of fun, even in the freezing water. It was definitely worth it all. Beautiful sharks and we saw a stingray. Would definitely recommend this adventure to everyone.

A brilliant experience even for non divers - What an amazing experience - the team are so knowledgeable and we learnt so much. I personally chose to stay on board and watch the rest of the family dive but speaking to the on board Marine Biologist was fascinating. I am so glad I was persuaded to go on the trip just for that.

A superb experience! - A fantastic experience of seeing sharks inches away! The crew do a fantastic job of looking after you from start to finish, from a fantastic breakfast, to safety briefing & post-experience lunch. Wetsuits, masks & towels were provided with hot showers available back at base. We saw bronze whaler sharks, a seven gill cow shark & a stingray. No great whites sadly, which are increasingly rare in these waters. An experience you’ll never forget. Highly recommend!

Great experience! - Everything was great, we saw several bronze sharks of different sizes, seal and a very large grating manta. They let us repeat to stay longer underwater, which is very grateful since you enjoy the activity much more. Keeping in mind that the white shark from more than a year ago is not seen in this type of activities, it is still worth doing. Recommended.

Briefing safety, awareness of our environmental impact on these magnificent fish, cleanliness of the premises, quality of the breakfast and a small very nice goodies area. Thanks again to the whole team for making this beautiful meeting so easy.
