This was a really cool experience. The whole booking process was very smooth and professional. If you're driving in or being picked up from Cape Town, expect to leave around 3:30am, as it is about a 2-3 hour drive to Gansbaai. Our meet time was 6:30am and the tour departed about an hour later. Before departure, we were given a... More

Enjoyed the diving once we got there! Downgraded from excellent due to pick up time of 3.30am!! Then cramped lengthy coach journey at breakneck speed!! On arrival breakfast was decidedly average affair. Once out in the channel didn't have to wait long before the Great Whites arrived and great to see them up close. Boat broke down on return to...

My friend and I researched a few shark diving companies which all claimed to be the best, however in my opinion this one truly is the best! The whole day was amazing and we were made to feel safe and that we were in good hands as the crew were so professional and friendly. It was obvious that they loved... More

What an adrenalin rush - none like it! I can't say enough about the service and hospitality provided by the White Shark Diving Co. I made my reservations a week before and my friends chose a different company. They got picked up at 445AM, I got picked up at 845AM - we ended out going out to the same location... More

Wow! An experience no one in the family will forget! After several days of stormy weather we were not holding out much hope to see any sharks, but we were wrong. Lots of time in the cage, clear views, several different sharks passed by and a huge 4-meter great white that hung around. Excellent, knowledgeable staff, professional outfit and lots... More

So I have been to 27 countries and thought I had seen and experienced a lot of things.. until this day! When I found out that we succeeded in getting a booking for shark cage diving... I'm not gonna lie to you, I was a little bit nervous. Did not sleep much the night before. We had to get up... More

Brilliant day shark cage diving with the great whites! We are very happy that we booked with this company. They collected us from our hotel in central cape town, and took us on the 2 hour drive to Gansbaai to their premises and boat. Before getting on the boat, there is of course a briefing on the day and safety... More

Was picked up very early, but the trip was definitely worth it. Drove for around 2 and a half hours to Gansbaai after being picked up not long after 4am in Cape Town. There was plenty of fruit and breakfast foods when we arrived and a safety talk, then we went out on the boat. There was time before going... More

I suppose there's always a chance things will not be to your liking in a dive, but we went out with Shark Lady & had a fine time. Cage was on the small side but not too bad, seven people on board made it a comfortable group. Surprisingly, with around 8 other boats around us & multiple sharks around, the... More
