Shark Cage Diving

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience by coming face to face with a great white shark. Grootbos has partnered with Marine Dynamics to provide this enthralling adventure with the conscience that the commercial funds go towards research and conservation for these incredible creatures.

The experience is utterly mesmerising and is like no other as the great whites swim within inches of your body. The shark handlers skilfully lure the sharks within close proximities and you may even feel the aluminium cage vibrate as a fin or tail bashes against it in its attempt to get hold of the seal decoy. Everything you know about great white sharks will disappear as you witness a beastly elegance and agility one could not have expected from such a large animal. You will come to discover that they are actually beautiful creatures with an intense curiosity.

The film 'Jaws' by Steven Spielberg created this image of great white sharks as man-eaters and it invoked fear into hearts across the globe. Since the 1975 film there has been incredible controversy following this archaic species. These myths will be dispelled by a dedicated marine biologist that accompanies every boat trip with Marine Dynamics. These qualified individuals will show you how to identify the different sharks and the incredible characteristics that scientists are only discovering now. The trip takes you to the infamous Shark Alley and Dyer Island where the sharks can generally be found. A trip with Grootbos and Marine Dynamics will prove to be exhilarating, invigorating and professional.

This adventure does not require any diving experience as the cage floats next to the boat and guests simply don their dry and clean wetsuit with a mask and take a deep breath. You never have to be more than a metre underwater and can surface whenever you please. The boat, Slashfin, is the only one of its kind as it is made of aluminium to ensure superior safety, stability, speed and space. The upper deck of Slashfin allows great viewing for when you are not in the cage and makes the experience enjoyable for children. The experience will be captured by a videographer on the boat so you can enjoy watching the giddy shrills and hold onto an incredible memory.

This is the adrenalin-pumping adventure of the year!
