5.00What a wonderful experience From warm welcome and the delicious breakfast right the way through We were provided with everything we needed for the trip. Wet suits, boots, masks, towels waterproof jacket (if we had wanted one) We saw around 14 sharks of varying sizes and a sting ray. All the crew were so knowledgeable and such good fun I have never done cage diving with sharks before and I was a little nervous but I shouldn’t have been. It was so exciting to be so up close to them. I didn’t really want to get out of the water. At the end of the trip we were able to have a shower Again everything we needed for was provided, Even hairdryers. A lovely lunch together where we were able to relive our time with the sharks with others members of the trip and through the video that was recorded whilst we were on the boat. A definite 5 star trip for me
Professionalism, kindness and awareness

5.00Excellent, include breakfast and lunch at the end. We could not observe the great white due to the population decline, but enjoyed several copper sharks and a few more guests.
Fantastic!

5.00Had a great experience. Everything was organized very well, from the welcome and breakfast at the start to the briefing, safety instructions and off course the cage diving itself. The team was very friendly and kept an eye on everyone. The boat was not overloaded (we were 13) and everyone had enough (and some even extra) time in the cage. It felt safe and right from the start to the end. The experience inside the cage itself was fantastic. To get so close to these beautiful animals simply feels amazing. We had about 14 bronze whaler sharks circling our boat and they were very active, making it a great experience. This excursion was on my list for a long time and I’m happy I did it. Big thanks to the White Shark Projects team! Just one piece of advise for anyone considering to book: read into what you can expect so you can enjoy the experience for what it is now (compared to many years ago). If you expect to get up close and personal with great whites then you might be dissapointed since they are hardly spotted anymore. For me that didnt spoil it, honestly, I would go again tomorrow.

5.00Great crew. Started with a nice breakfast at a cozy place, then an explanation on all the procedures before embarking. We were in 18 persons, that were split in 3 groups to enter the cage for 20 minutes. We could see 6 to 8 bronze whaler sharks from 2 to 3 meters, no great whites, rare nowadays at the region. Everything seemed very safe. Then we returned and were received with a sandwich, soup and juice. We could watch the video filmed by the crew and then decide on buying it or not (350 rands).
Sharks.🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
