Our professional partner operator will take you on a diving adventure that you will never forget.
You have the option of either been collected from your accommodation in Cape Town or you can do a self drive through to the village of Gansbaai, about 2 hours drive (160kms) from Cape Town.
There you board their shark-chaser - Apex Predator. The trip normally starts at about 10am, taking about 4 to 5 hours. Once onboard, it is a 5 mile (8 km) voyage to the diving site off Dyer Island.

All the necessary diving equipment is supplied on the boat, including wetsuits, masks and towels. No experience is required if you want to go down in the cage. At times the water will be rough or far too murky to use the cage but viewing from the boat is still an awesome experience, with excellent photo opportunities.
 
The cage is of the floating-variety and is custom-made with 10mm galvanized steel mesh. The sharks cannot get inside, and they don't try. The cage is attached to the boat at all times and floats on the surface. You can climb in and out at any time.
 
Your safety is paramount on this trip. Passengers are fitted with comfortable inflatable life-jackets. For your peace of mind the operator has 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.
 
Warm clothing, a cap, sun block, and camera are essential items for the trip. A light lunch, cool drink, fruit & other snacks will be provided on board. We also have seasick tablets, protective jackets and underwater cameras (R150.00) available. A DVD of the day's activities is also available at an extra cost of R350.00.
