Some pics of our shark cage diving.

What a awesome experience, you have to do this at least once in your life

ok so thats nice ....

 

and using bait to get the shark to come to you?

 

[David #7]

That must have been amazing!!!!

[ewald99]

no way i'll try that. i'm a surfer and don't think I will get in the water again after that!

I've done a shark dive - no cage.

But then again it wasn't with Great Whites, it was raggies.

 

Beautiful fish.

no way.....

[zeepee]

I've dived with raggies too and belive me this is way cooler.

 

Slowbee I also had a problem with them feeding the sharks, but they dont. They throw chum(bloody water) in the water to attract them to the boat, then they'll use a fish head on a rope to get it closer to the cage.

The sharks are allready there in the area, they say that 1000's of people swim at gansbaai's beach every year and they've never had a attack there. This is about 300m from shore.

 

They also say only the juveniles come this close to the boat. The older(and bigger) fish know by now that the boat is no food source so they ignore it

[zeepee]

in that last pic the shark (about 4m) slammed his tail against the cage, the whole boat shuddered. You could feel there's allot of power there, ha ha they guys in the cage shat themselves

I want to do this without the cage. There's some guy down that area that free dives with the Whites. Have to find his details. The raggies are great, hammerheads and zambos are better & bigger, but the white shark is simply awesome!

[AndreZA]

That is such a natural way to view them. Nice way to p!ss them off. When they attack someone all hell breaks loose again.

I cant put my finger on it - but there is something that doesnt feel right about using "chum" to get them to the boat.

 

Although it is open see, it still feels like "canned" viewing.

They could always use politicians.

i'm afraid even great whites have taste and would probably not be interested...

If you in PE give me a shout and i will take you diving with the Raggies at Shark Ally.

 

Awsome dive no cage and between 15- 20 meters.

 

You can actually touch them as they swim by.
