Nice experience, no whites but enjoyed. Nice hot shower afterwards to help warm up. Run smooth and efficiently.

Very well organised; the crew was very helpful & friendly; and of course the sharks were absolute stars :) Total adrenaline rush.

Not as scary as I thought it would be. We saw 8 sharks in all. The cage never leaves the side of the boat. As a photographer I did get some very nice pictures and there is some video taping so you can get a DVD when it is over.
Great experience if you've got the nerve to do it!

Trip has a very early start but they provide a breakfast when you arrive, about a 2 hour drive. They run over the security and what to do and expect- very funny guy! The water can be choppy, so remember that Dramamine! They hadn't seen any great whites in about a week due to orcas in the area, but as soon as the first cage went in, there they were- amazing! (Bring a go-pro!). I didn't go in but got some amazing shots from the top deck. All wet suits provided and boots but in June the water was very cold ( my main reason for not getting in!). The cages go down with 4 people at a time for approx 20 minutes each, then you switch groups. Each group gets 2 turns. Then it's back to the facility for hot soup and rolls before heading back to Cape town. Amazing experience, well worth your money.
Enjoyable

Other than the fact we were picked up at 2am everything went well. We were driven to Gansaii given a safety briefing and a wet suit with goggles. We were taken out in the boat to shark alley and eight at a time climbed into the cage. Your head is out of the water and when the spotter yells shark to the right you take a deep breath and duck under the water. My only problem was try ing to take a picture while I was doing this. The sharks don't stay still but I did manage to get two pictures of them. After it is over and your are back on land they give a small breakfast.
