Itinerary
Experience shark cage diving in False Bay, Cape Town, and get closer to sharks in their natural environment. Your adventure begins in Simon’s Town with a safety briefing before heading out onto False Bay. Our experienced crew will take you to the best available wildlife viewing area, where you may encounter Bronze Whaler and Sevengill sharks, and perhaps dolphins and whales. You’ll enter our shark cage using a surface-supplied Hookah system, which allows you to breathe normally underwater without needing a scuba qualification or having to hold your breath. This gives you more time to observe the sharks from the safety of the cage and experience them at close range. You’ll also visit Seal Island, with opportunities to see Cape fur seals, seabirds, dolphins and whales depending on the season and conditions. Our small-group trips (max 12) offer a more personal experience, with approximately 3–3½ hours on the water. Light refreshments are included, and our crew will share their knowledge of the sharks and False Bay marine environment throughout the trip.
