“AWESOME!!”

Reviewed June 9, 2013

What a fantastic company White Shark Projects is. I must admit I was sceptical of cage diving operations but White Shark Projects absolutely puts the sharks first. They are a research company run by passionate zoologists, researchers and conservationists, and their motivation behind taking tourists out is to educate us about the sharks and the danger their specie faces.

“Wonderful experience, worth the few extra Rand”

Reviewed May 26, 2013 via mobile

My wife and I had an excellent experience with them. They clearly care about sharks, education, and customer service. WSP hosts volunteers from around the world who help with the tours. The actual cage diving was a lot of fun. Everyone got time in the water with the sharks. I was able to take 3 turns.
