DIVING WITH SHARKS IN SOUTH AFRICA

Close to the southernmost tip of Africa, 5 miles (8km) out to sea, lies Shark Alley - a favourite hunting ground of the omnipotent Great White Shark. Shark Alley is a channel between Dyer Island and Geyser Rock and is protected from the worst of the southern Atlantics weather.

Dyer Island, Geyser Rock and Shark Alley are teeming with sea life! Cape Fur Seals, Jackass Penguins and a wide variety of sea birds can be seen on your trip... and with all this food around... the Great White Sharks are sure to be there!!!

In fact Great White Sharks are spotted preying on seals so frequently that the area has become known as the Great White Shark capital of the world, and this is where Great White Shark Diving will take you for the experience of a lifetime – shark cage diving!!!!

Cage diving with sharks means spending some one-on-one quality time with these magnificent beasts. It’s nerve-wracking yet intensely rewarding, eye opening and extreme. You don’t need any scuba diving qualifications, experience or equipment – just yourself and a strong dose of Dutch courage.

For the more feint hearted you’ll be pleased to know that these awesome predators are easily seen from the surface… sometimes even launching clear of the water in natural hunting attacks.

Whether you prefer the thrill of meeting the Great White sharks face to face or choose to watch from the mental comfort of the boat this is an awe-inspiring adventure NOT TO BE MISSED!!!

Gansbaai shark diving rated best Jaws thrill in world
Cape Times THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2003

The Western Cape has added another accolade to its collection - top shark diving destination in the world.
Destinations around the world were shown on 10 Best Places to Dive with Sharks, broadcast by Australian TV channel TV9.

The hour-long programme rated the Great White shark diving at Gansbaai as the best shark diving experience in the world. The copper sharks that accompany the sardine run on the KwaZulu-Natal coast were rated number three.
The shark diving experiences were rated according to how close one gets, the size of the sharks and the adrenaline factor.

"This recognition positions the Western Cape as a top adventure destination", said Mike Fabricius, chief executive officer of the Western Cape Tourism Board.
"As part of our strategy to spread the fruits of tourism throughout the province and to flatten seasonality, we have been promoting niche activities to new sectors of the market."

"Adventure tourism is an important part of our growth and I am delighted to see that our natural resources are being successfully employed in a responsible way to promote the region."

"I congratulate the people involved in the shark diving project at Gansbaai."

Among other leading ratings garnered by Cape Town and the Western Cape are that they have three of the 10 hotels named as top in the world in the Conde Nast Readers Choice Awards for Africa and the Middle East.
Cape Town was rated the fifth top city in the world for Travel and Leisure's World's Best Award, while BBC TV placed Cape Town at number five on a list of 50 places to see before you die.
