Itinerary

Day 1 - Shark Cage Diving

Meet in Kleinbaai

Guests meet at the Great White House where breakfast or lunch is served. Wetsuits are registered and a safety briefing as well as biological background on Great White sharks are given prior to departure.

All aboard

We walk 200 metres to the harbour in Kleinbaai where we board Slashfin.

Travel to Dyer Island

This is a 20-minute trip. The shallows are a 10-minute ride.

Anchor

We anchor where we spot sharks. Usually we anchor for about 2 hours; however, shark activity, weather conditions and the number of divers must be taken into consideration.

Shark Alley

If weather conditions allow, we explore Shark Alley between Dyer Island and Geyser Rock. This is where seals often fall prey to Great White sharks and we see incredible sightings.

We make our way back to the Great White House for a debriefing and warm cup of soup.

Cash showers are available if you would like to wash the salt off you.
