zeepee Posted October 21, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeepee Posted October 21, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipperw Posted October 21, 2009 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted October 21, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it is open see, it still feels like "canned" viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napalm Posted October 21, 2009 Share I cant put my finger on it - but there is something that doesnt feel right about using "chum" to get them to the boat. They could always use politicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could always use politicians. i'm afraid even great whites have taste and would probably not be interested... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted October 21, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
