After a good breakfast and a brief introductory talk we head in
the direction of Dyer Island, around 25 minutes off shore. We
usually launch at around 9 a.m.
Once we reach the premium viewing area we drop anchor and lower
the cage and make a scent trail. Diving in the cage commences
when the sharks show up and the next hours are spent relaxing on
board, watching the sharks surface and spending time with them
via cage-diving.
No scuba equipment is required as the cage is
attached to the boat and floats just below the surface of the
water. However, if you have your own equipment and a current
Diving Certificate and wish to utilize your scuba equipment you
may do so. Some operators feel, however, that the bubbles deter
the sharks.
Later, we head closer to Dyer Island (conditions dependant)
where we get near enough to view African penguins and a wealth
of other marine birds besides.
Across the aptly-named Shark Ally lies Geyser Rock, home to
60,000 Cape Fur Seals. We get to view the thriving colony and in
November can enjoy the sight of newly born seal pups. Shark
activity here makes for great viewing and photo-ops!
Prices start at R1100.00 per person. This includes an
unforgettable shark cage dive experience, breakfast, snacks and
drinks and the use of diving and safety equipment, weatherproof
jackets and towels.
Transfers to and from Cape Town are available for R250 each
in a spacious air-conditioned vehicle.
Please bring with warm clothing, sunblock, sun hat and seasick
medication if required.
Please bear in mind that the best sightings are May to September
when the chances of seeing sharks are 90% plus. While sharks may
be spotted off-season the sightings are varied. If the weather
is inclement we may be unable to launch.
Your safety is paramount to us. Passengers are fitted with
comfortable inflatable life-jackets. For your peace of mind we
have extensive public liability insurance. The cage is made out
of a 25 mm galvanized mild steel frame and covered with 10 mm
galvanized mild steel security mesh.
