Shark Cage Diving in Cape Town – truly an adventure

Cage diving with sharks and surface viewing has become an ever increasing popular activity in the tourism industry.

Shark cage diving is a strictly regulated industry and there are only a few operators that have been good enough to be awarded a license to take people out to the ocean to view the sharks. Great care and effort are taken not to interfere with the shark’s natural behaviour patterns. The feeding of sharks are also prohibited so the sharks don’t misinterpret the boat as its delicious next meal. Passengers on the boat are most likely to see the Great White Shark as other sharks tend to keep a low profile in their territory. The Cape Coast is one of the most popular locations, in the world, to find Great White Sharks, and a lot of them. Shark Cage Diving

But it is important not to choose just any shark cage diver operator; first do your research and consider the following few things:

• Find out how long the shark diving operator has been in business. The longer they have been taking people out to shark cage diving, the more you can be assured that they are equipped to handle any type of emergency that might occur out on the ocean.
• Research what the company’s reputation is like. The best way to go around this is Google the company and find out what their Internet presence is like as well as the content they provide about shark cage diving. Do they have a habit of cancelling appointments or has there even been reported a mishap event?
• Where are they located and if something might happen, find out if they are close to help. Luckily, what makes shark cage diving in Cape Town so popular all round the world is because of its accessibility and close proximity to land. Most of the shark cage diving operators in Cape Town are situated close and amongst a lot of activity.

• Enquire what kind of equipment they use. Most of the operators will have a boat and a cage, but you need to find how big the cages are, how old they are and what kind of amenities they offer on board of the boat. Are their wetsuits in good quality and do they offer enough wet suits for your size party?

Find out what are the terms and conditions concerning photography on board. Some shark diving operators will handle the photography, on behalf of the passengers, whereas other operators provide a spot where you can take photos. Enquire if you are allowed to take your own underwater camera with you when going into the cage.

• Research the rates of shark cage diving operators, that way you can determine if they are affordable and competitive in relation to the rest of the industry. Most shark cage diving trips averagely cost R1300 per person.
