What To Expect
Our vessel is a 12 meter long and 4 meter wide catamaran which we specifically designed for shark cage diving and viewing. You will need at least an Open Water One diving qualification to dive on scuba in the cage. Scuba divers are required to produce their in date dive card. Unqualified divers may breath hold or snorkel in the cage. Your own safety is our concern and surface viewing from the boat is truly spectacular as the Great White is a surface feeder. The cage is a floating, drifting cage. Four divers enter the cage at any one time. A fifth person can be accommodated, however we prefer to allow the diver comfortable space to move freely. Scuba is available on request and is only given to qualified divers. Our tours depart twice daily off-season (May-October), and up to three times daily in-season (November-April). The duration of the trip will be approximately 3,5 hours on sea. We offer silver service and UNLIMITED, quality cage dive time. We offer a full educational on the Great White so that you come away learning about this awesome, apex predator. We do not harm or feed the sharks on our tours. Our motto says it all “We Care, Protect and Educate”.

5.00Great experience. This was on my bucketlist. Now it is checked. No fuss with booking. Pick up almost from the hotel. Safety instructions before boarding the boat. And even more important, When the sharks were there, just before entering the cage. The bronze whalers give u a nice show. On the way back to shore, we even encoutered a mother whale with cub. Nice simple breakfast before boarding and a nice cup of warming veggie soup as lunch. Thank you for the experience
Highly recommended!

5.00We already did another shark tour two years ago and were lucky to see a white shark back then. At Sharklady Adventures I liked the fact that they communicated openly that they hadn't seen white sharks in a while. After learning that bronze sharks or copper sharks are also getting quite big, we decided to book the tour. Communication was friendly and informative from the beginning. Before the tour there were some delicious sandwiches and a very good safety briefing. The tour itself was breathtaking. 5 stars in every respect. We saw a lot of sharks, everyone had enough time in the cage and since there were three times 4 people in the cage, you also had enough time to watch and photograph the sharks from the boat. That's great! After the tour we had a delicious warm soup. Overall, a very nice activity that we will certainly repeat. My impression was that Sharklady was more of a smaller supplier and would prefer the bigger ones because their boats looked really packed.
