If you are looking for something different to do in South Africa, something to really get your adrenaline going they what could be better that going shark diving?!

Just of the Cape coast you can go on arranged shark diving trips where you can come face to face with the legendary great white shark.

You are lowered into aptly named ‘Shark Alley’ in a small cage to get a once in a lifetime experience of the sharks up close. The sharks are fairly used to seeing the cages so will not attack them however they will brush past them and sometimes peep inside as they are naturally curious creatures.

This trip is not for the faint hearted but definitely is a must for the adrenaline junkie that’s looking for a new experience.

The dives use scuba equipment but do not go too deep into the water therefore no previous diving experience is necessary, just ensure that you book the trip through a reputable company and follow all of the safety instructions for an exhilarating experience with sharks.
