DIVING WITH GREAT WHITE SHARKS IN SOUTH AFRICA


The water was very cold, the weather was rainy with overcast and the waters were choppy. It was the perfect setting to experience these predators in.

Shark Diving was the ultimate thrill-seeking experience. On a trip with the boys to Cape Town, South Africa, I decided to visit the Shark Diving Capital of the world – Gansbaai, South Africa.

Gansbaai is known as the great white shark capital of the world. With a 2.5 hour drive from Cape Town, this is where you shark diving dreams come true. This is a marine wonderland and a very cool place to safely experience these apex predators in their natural environment.

We launched from Kleinbaai which is 12 kilometers from the coastal fishing village of Gansbaai. During summer months, the sharks keep closer to shore and during winter they move to Shark Alley. Shark Alley is a nearby channel created by two islands - Dyer Island (with endangered African Penguins) and Geyser Rock (with Cape Fur Seals).

The water was very cold, the weather was rainy with overcast and the waters were choppy. It was the perfect setting to experience these predators in. I loved the experience and the fear before getting into the water. When seeing the actual sharks hitting the cage and rattling us around, it made me feel alive.

On to the next adventure.

Shark diving with Great White Sharks in South Africa. Freezing, fun and exhilarating.
