Great White Shark Diving in Gansbaai, South Africa



Between the islands of Geyser Rock and Dyer Island is a narrow and shallow channel called Shark Alley – reputed to be the world’s best place for Great White shark cage diving. Due to the 60 000 strong Cape Fur seal colony in the area, Shark Alley is the feeding ground for the endangered Great White Shark. Between the months of May through October is considered to be the best time to view the Great White Shark, although they are seen throughout the year.

For the adrenaline junkies, this provides you with the perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with the Great Whites – no diving certificate is needed to venture into the cage.

The Great White Shark is a surface feeder and thus all the activity takes place on or very close to the surface, due to this, the surface viewing from the boat is excellent, pefect for the not so adventurous who prefer the comfort of the boat.
