Shark cage diving in Cape Town is a unique experience due to the diverse species of sharks that can be encountered in the waters surrounding the city such as bronze whaler sharks, seven gill, mako and blue sharks.
Another unique aspect of shark cage diving in Cape Town is the location of the dive site, which is close to Seal Island. Seal Island is home to 64 000 cape fur seals, and should weather and time allow, an activity around the island after the shark cage diving trip completes the diversity of marine life once can see on a shark activity.

Start at the Shark Cage diving center house, Gansbaai’s shark diving center, where you’ll eat breakfast, and meet your guides for the day. After eating, get fitted into the appropriate diving gear. Climb into the specialized diving boat, complete with a shark diving cage, for the 30 - 35 -minutes trip into the ocean. Your captain heads for Dyer Island, choosing an ideal place to stop for the dive. The cage is secured to the side of the boat, and during the cage dives it stays a few feet (meters) below the surface of the water. This means it’s easy for you to get out of the water at any point when you want to. The boat stays anchored in this diving spot for roughly two hours, depending on shark activity. During that time, there are drinks and snacks for you aboard the boat. After the boat returns to Gansbaai, enjoy light refreshments back at the Great White House. You can choose to buy a professional video of your shark cage diving experience (own expense). Your experience concludes with a drop-off at your hotel in Cape Town.
