Shark cage diving trips offer experienced scuba divers as well as non-divers the chance to see sharks in their natural habitat, from the safety of a reinforced metal cage that is lowered into the water from the boat.

Those who prefer to not get quite as close are able to view sharks from the boat, which also offers great viewing opportunities as the sharks swim very close to the boat.

Great white sharks are listed as endangered, and like many other shark species, face the danger of extinction due the vast numbers of sharks killed each year in long line fishing, shark hunting and shark products.

Due to their size, Great whites are not as easy prey for finning as smaller sharks; however their slow breeding cycles and other environmental factors have diminished their numbers.

Shark cage diving is a great way to increase awareness for the plight of sharks, while educating people on these amazing animals.

It also offers a thrilling and exciting adventure opportunity which is sure to stay with you for many years to come.
