Shark Cage Diving in South Africa is amazing. Xtreme Gappers react differently to the experience, with a mix of terror, excitement, curiosity and ultimately “get me the fuck out of this cage there is a bloody great white shark next to me” kind of response when you first see one. Shark Cage Diving in South Africa is not for everyone, but for those that do give it a go, it is with out doubt a life changing experience.

Shark Cage Diving in South Africa is not done directly in Cape Town as many believe, the home for all the shark cage diving action in in Gaansbai, about 2 hours east along the coast. You will be taken out to Shark Alley, one of the worlds top Great White Shark hots spots, due to the large number of fur seals located in the waters.  This is the same location as our great white shark conservation project. You can do this activity on the Cape Town Adrenaline Overload programme, on the double hard or mentalist options.

Now lets see what you are in for! These Photos were taken by one of our partners Shark Diving Unlimited, considered to be a  world wide expert on the great white Shark – Mike Rutzen. You can see them breaching, and even a shot of Mike freediving with one of them, obviously you will remain in the cage!
