Our Shark Cage Diving trips take place from the Kleinbaai harbour in the fishing town Gansbaai.
Gansbaai is about 160 km from Cape Town and it takes about 2 hours 30 min by road.
Gansbaai was previously known as the White Shark Capital of the World, however, the most common shark seen on our trip is the Bronze Whaler Shark – also known as the Copper Shark (Carcharhinus brachyurus)
Of course one also have good chance to see a White Shark as Gansbaai is indeed one of the best places in the world to see the White Sharks

We had a fantastic experience shark diving with Cape Shark Adventures! From the moment we set foot on the boat, the friendliness and professionalism of the staff were palpable. The team skillfully balanced the excitement of diving with sharks and the necessity of keeping to a schedule, ensuring that every participant had ample time in the water. Their expertise and enthusiasm for the natural world shone through, enriching our understanding and appreciation of not just sharks, but other marine life we encountered. Although we didn't see Great Whites (these encounters are now exceedingly rare), being in the water and witnessing Cooper sharks glide gracefully through their natural habitat, mere meters away, was still exhilarating. For those considering this adventure, it's worth noting that, with CT traffic, this is a full-day excursion. Also, one piece of advice is to plan for sea sickness, especially if you're prone to it. The crew is well-equipped with remedies and support, but taking preventive measures can help ensure you fully enjoy your time out there. In summary, our shark diving experience was thrilling, educational, and incredibly well-organized, thanks to the wonderful team. It's a unique adventure that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable encounter with nature. - Nichar
