Great White Shark Cage Diving
All dive equipment, towels and snacks are stocked, safety equipment, safety equipment is checked and the boats are fuelled prior to passengers' arrival.
The Great White Shark
The boat leaves the harbour at about 08h45 or 12h45 and takes 15 to 20 minutes to reach the channel between Geyser and Dyer islands. It normally takes about an hour of chumming and baiting before the first great white hones in on the bait with deadly accuracy - (sharks use their sense of smell and unique sense of electro-reception to detect the movement of the fibrous rope in the water.) A dorsal fin and part of the tail silently slice up through the water, leaving barely a wake; the ominous fins lock in on the boat. The undisputed lord of the deep has arrived!
The Boat
White Shark is a luxurious and powerful 30ft (10m) Dive Cat
deep-sea cabin cruiser, with two 225hp Yamaha outboard motors. The result is an enjoyable and fast ride out to the islands.
The boat can carry twenty passengers. To enhance the overall experience for our guests, only ten passengers per trip are accepted, thus reservations are absolutely essential.
The latest navigation aids and systems are installed in the spacious bridge.
There is a fully equipped head (toilet), and for passengers who succumb to sea-sickness, there are beds upon which to rest and recover from the rigors of sea-travel.

Divers, who are safe in the cage, listen to the dive master explaining the direction from which the shark is coming. Divers submerse themselves. Literally holding their breath next to the boat in the safety of the cage and await that once in a lifetime eye to eye contact with the great white sharks a mere arms length away.
Passengers can also experience excellent surface viewing of the great white sharks from the boat's upper deck, getting an all-round view of the sharks, circling and descending. It is the ideal spot to capture some fantastic shark picture or shoot video footage - the water is no more than 9 meters deep.
Great White Sharks can smell the chum slick (crushed tuna/skipjack or sardines) from a considerable distance. In addition, our crew pulls decoys or bait lines closer to the cage and boat to lure the magnificent creatures even closer. The shark, being an inquisitive creature, often comes right up to the boat, bringing its head far enough out of the water that you can touch it. The banks of awesome razor edged teeth are but centimetres away - the huge gaping jaws revealing the true danger of the imminent encounter. The most feared predator of all the seas has arrived.
