Shark & Safari

Shark Cage Diving In Gansbaai (Self Drive)

Overberg District Municipality 6 hours

Shark & Safari provides shark cage diving tours from Gansbaai, 160km from Cape Town. Dyer Island is just off the coast and is home to one of the largest seal colonies in Southern Africa. The approximately 60 000 seals provide the main diet of the Great White Shark. The channel that intersects this island is called Shark Alley.

Our full day tour provides the following:

  • Clear Directions to Our Crew House
  • A light breakfast on arrival
  • An information and safety briefing.
  • 3-5 hours at sea
  • Cinematographer to capture all the action (optional DVD - R350)
  • Experienced dive master and skipper
  • 7mm wetsuit with mask and snorkel
  • Scuba gear available for PADI certified divers
  • Our 8 man cage allows you to have several dives 
  • Our biggest boat only take 24 clients.
  • On the return to shore, a  light lunch is served.
As the Great White shark is a surface feeder, diving certification is not required as the dive is a surface float. 

The viewing only trip is a the same price as diving - Everybody pays for the boat trip - The diving is free!

Times vary every day and are dependent on the tides, weather and logistics.  We will attempt to accommodate your requested time but this not always possible, especially with the transfer option.
