Great Experience.
sijowa71, October 2026
Shark cage diving was at the top of our list of things to do when planning our trip of a lifetime to South Africa. There are quite a few different operators, but I'm so glad we chose to go with White Shark Projects. The whole experience from booking onwards was great. Our booking had to be moved a couple of times due to weather, the communication regarding this was timely and they were very helpful in doing their best to ensure we still managed to fit the experience into our trip. On the day all the team, from the driver who picked us up for our transfer, the staff at the base, and the crew of the boat, were great very friendly and professional. We always felt well looked after and in safe hands. the food and facilities at base, before and after the trip were excellent too. The trip on the boat itself was awe inspiring, so many sharks!! Coming that close to them was unreal! Highly recommend.
