Description
Shark cage diving is a super exciting yet educational activity where individuals can observe sharks in their natural habitat whilst being safe and protected inside a cage. It provides a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with these fascinating creatures without actually being in direct contact with them, as well as having minimal impact on their environment. The Bronze Whaler Sharks are the species we are currently targeting in False Bay. However when dealing with nature, you never know what you’re going to see or encounter on the day. Historically False Bay was famous for its Great White Sharks and their natural breaching predatory behavior, however they have been a rarity, although we always hope for an appearance. Shark Cage diving is also for boat enthusiasts or surface viewers. If you’re not comfortable with hopping into the water, the viewing from the boat is just as exciting. We attract these beautiful animals to the surface of the water for all to enjoy and marvel over. Shark Explorers in Simonstown is the best option for you. The most convenient drive or travel from Cape Town City, a mere 40mins. Safety of our participants is of the utmost importance. Safety briefings and continuous information is provided to our guests from the minute they arrive. Boat briefing and cage diving briefings are all done throughout the duration of the trip. Safety briefings are imperative to create reassurance and optimal comfortability for our guests. We have experienced guides who are knowledgeable about the environment & behavior of sharks. The boat ride can vary slightly in duration, but the usual travel from the harbor to the dive site is around 30minutes. Along the travel, there is always a possibility of seeing dolphins, whales, African penguins and the Cape Fur Seals. Participants take turns entering the cage wearing 5mm to 7mm wetsuits, booties and masks, usually in small groups. The cage is secured to the boat at a surface level, keeping it in place for easy access and viewing of the sharks. Once inside the cage, participants can observe the sharks swimming in close proximity. Water visibility can vary in False Bay from 1 metre to 12 metres, this does play a huge role in the underwater viewing. and is established by weather movements, including swell, wind and cloud cover. Water visibility is completely beyond our control as operators. The cage is submerged partially, with enough breathing room to have your head and shoulders above the water, for taking a breath between the underwater viewing. This method allows for a super easy and user friendly way that almost everyone and all participants of varies ages are able to enjoy this unique underwater perspective and experience. Water temperatures vary from 14 degrees Celsius/ 57 degrees Fahrenheit to 20 degrees Celsius to 68 degrees Fahrenheit in False bay. The entire duration of the trip from meeting at our dive center to returning back to the harbor in around 3/4 hours.Includes
