Incredible day - Wr had an incredible day, we got to see lots of Bronze shares had plenty of time in the cage which held 6 people happily, after the boat trip we had a delicious homemade lasagne, they did vegan alternatives for my other half, it's definitely worth contacting them in advance if you had diet requirements as they do there best to accept this. I confess I was nervous but I would highly recommend a visit.

Great time shark diving - Had a really good time. Saw plenty of sharks and made great memories. Felt safe and secure in the boat the whole time, like everyone had been doing this for years. I recommend doing the hookah dive, it allows you to sit under the water and wait for the sharks to swim by.

Worth the trip - Amazing experience! I was traveling with a family member with mobility issues and they were extremely accommodating. Tasha, Tien (spelling?) and Jeff were all awesome and would gladly go again! We saw some 24 sharks and even whales on the trip, was a highlight experience

Great company, disappointing conditions - This is a great company doing important work. Their staff were professional and informative. Unfortunately, the day we went, visibility underwater was poor, there were maybe 7ft swells (lots of seasickness, I took Dramamine and was still queasy) and there wasn't a whole lot of shark action (we were in the first group in the cage and there was one bronze whaler shark at that time, I got one close up look at him) and the water was 12 degrees Celsius, so I was more focused on my chattering teeth than what was in the water in front of me. Nothing the company could have done to make it better but it was a somewhat underwhelming experience for the $ paid. I am sure that other times, the conditions could be much better; this was just our experience on one particular day! Be aware that if staying in Cape Town, your pickup time could be as early as 3:45am; I would recommend staying in a hotel near Gansbaai the night before, b/c you wont know your pickup time till the day before your excursion.

Shark Experiences - At April 9th I went together with my daughter with "White Shark Diving" (Gansbaai). It was an impressing experience. The boat is very fast and comfortable, we had good weather and we saw lots of Sharks. About 20 sharks we saw.- The Great White is not existing at these kind of tours - so I would call it "Shark Diving Experience" - to be honest. So the disappointment would not be there. You really have to see sharks. That is realistic. But no Whites at all in this year until now.

Cool experience... - It's a cool thing if you think you can do it and aren't afraid of water. But ultimately it's a bit sobering... Safety is guaranteed and the concept is well thought out. It will remain a one-off...
