Cage Diving with Great White Sharks


We Spent our last day in Sedgefield cage diving with great white sharks!!!

It was the coolest most amazing experience!!!!! Highly recommended to anyone!

Mossel Bay, the town that starts the garden route, is a very rich area with its abundant sea life of diverse fish, seals, whales, penguins, other sea birds, dolphins, the occasional orca and a plentiful supply of Great White Sharks. It's one of the best places to see great whites in the world!



The company we went with took us a mere 10 minutes out into the bay....they chummed the water and within 5 minutes 2-3 huge sharks started circling the boat! They attach large tuna heads to a line of rope and throw it into the water...the sharks go for the bait and jump out of the water to grab it as they pull it in.
 


Scotty crapping his pants!!!!!

 
The cage gets lowered into the water beside the boat and 6 people climb in. It gets closed up and they repeatedly throw the tuna head bait in and pull it back out to keep them right in front of the cage. You are wearing goggles too so can dunk your head in and see them charge you underwater.
 
 It was absolutely incredible.....these giant sharks were literally 2 inches in front of my face with their mouths open biting at the bars.
 




 
 
I was screaming like I was on a roller coaster the whole time. It was for sure a trip highlight!!!
