- Shark Cage Diving -

Frequently asked questions:

Do I have to be a qualified diver?
No - You don’t have to be qualified or be able to swim. The youngest so far was 5, and the oldest was 79, and neither cagers were qualified!

How deep does the cage go?
The steel cage is 2 metres deep, always floating, open at the top with a fence surrounding it, so you are basically standing in your own height in the water. The cage is permanently attached to the platform and under direct supervision. You can get out of the cage whenever you feel like it.

Do we go far out to sea?
No – Our Seal Island is some 30 minutes from port and 1 kilometre from shore and we do not go out in rough seas or if the visibility in the water is poor.

What are my chances of seeing Great White Sharks?
This depend on the time of year. Our annual average per months is 84% in successful caging. You will be fully informed on the day on current sightings.

What does the price include and what do I need to bring?
The price includes all the dive gear, liquid refreshments and a light meal. You need to bring a costume, towel, a windbreaker and any personal medication.

How long does the trip take?
We normally meet at the office (The White Shark Info Centre) at 10h00 and are back in port by 17h00.

My partner does not want to go in the cage, can they come along?
Yes - Topside viewing is quite exciting and dramatic.

What bait do you use?
We only use fishy products (normal food source)
"The caging is safe and we adhere to a code of conduct as laid out by the controlling body. The boat is a 40 foot (12m) fully equipped ocean going yacht, with toilet facilities, a large deck and plenty of space below in the main cabin."
