They were organized and safe, and we enjoyed our trip with White Shark Projects. The water was very rough though so seasickness was a problem despite wearing a patch, but that wasn't their fault. The shark sightings were good though, we are got to spend a good amount of time in the cage. Fun! More

The chance to see a much maligned creature in surroundings that will give you a better understanding of why they should be admired and not treated as enemies. More

Arrived very early in Gaansbai after a 2 hour drive from cape town, and received a warm welcome. It was 6am when we arrived and there was plenty of food and drink awaiting us, and a DVD about WSP was put on to occupy us whilst we waited for the other guests. There was plenty of room on the boat... More

What an adventure! Really an experience I will never forget. The sharks look so tame and makes you wonder why they have such a bad rep - but that is probably bravery due to the cage between me and the beasts:-). I would recommend you try this at least once !! More

Was a little disappointing, but it was the off season, so visibility was terrible. The sharks were more visible on top of the boat than in the cage. It did feel somewhat like a conveyor belt, stuffed 25 people on the boat, threw a bunch of wet wetsuits at us and that was it. The guide was super informative, but... More

We were going to Cape Town and a friend said definitely do a shark cage dive. We signed up months prior to going and were told by our travel agent to be ready for a very early pickup. the day before we were confirmed for a 10am pickup in Johannesburg, with a 2 hour plus drive. that didn't seem right,...

It was good value for money overall and the tour operator was good. We were lucky that day bc there were lots and lots of sharks and warm water. However a great number of us got very sea sick. Strongly recommend taking Gravol even if you think you're not the type to get sick. TAKE IT. The crew isn't going... More
