Marine Dynamics enjoys sightings of great whites, copper sharks (bronze whalers) and even the occasional stingray at our vessel. Great White Shark behaviour is less predictable post orca predation in 2017. Daily blog of sightings is available. All content on our website is the property of Marine Dynamics.
Unlike bungy jumping or sky diving, the adrenaline rush from shark cage diving comes from being face to face with one of the world’s greatest predators: the Great White Shark.
The experience puts you in their territory while the safety of the activity allows you to be an observer and learn what Great White Sharks are really like. An onboard marine biologist will educate you about this amazing apex predator.
Shark Cage Diving is safe for children and elders and gives the whole family a wonderful opportunity to bond in a fun environment surrounded by experts and researchers.
After this once in a lifetime experience, you’ll find yourself buzzing with excitement and adrenaline. You will have had the opportunity to come up close and personal with one of the oceans most majestic and foreboding creatures.
Here is a brief breakdown of what to expect once you arrive:
• Before the trip guests meet at THE GREAT WHITE HOUSE in Kleinbaai
• Guests receive a pre-trip safety briefing about what to expect during the trip and a biological background on great white sharks
• We then take a 200m stroll down to the harbour to board Slashfin
• Travel time to Dyer Island is approximately 20 minutes, with the shallows being a short 10-minute ride (where we anchor depends on where the sharks are)
• On average, we anchor for 2 hours, but this depends on shark activity, conditions, as well as a number of divers
• Weather permitting, we take a quick trip through the infamous Shark Alley
• Lastly, a debrief in the Great White House

Shark Cage Diving · Marine Dynamics
Absolutely enthralling experience! Amidst icy waters of Gaansbaai, I faced my fears of the Great depths of the unknown, coming face to face with the infamous predators of the ocean. The sharks were in their element & so was I! Will definitely come back & highly recommend to others for the most adrenaline surging activity! - Prelene
Amazing experience. This was my third shark cage trip with Marine Dynamics and it didn't disappoint. So well organised. The crew were great and really looked after us including a friend who was sea sick. They made it such fun and at the same time educational focusing on conservation. Big thanks to the team and I would recommend to anyone. - Joanna
What a fantastic experience.... A thoroughly worth while trip and extremely well organised by Marine Dynamics. All the staff are well experienced in their tasks. The cage diving was divided into 4 "cages". The only downside was the 2nd cage viewing - a Whale watcher boat intruded severely on the Dynamics boat, blocking access on both sides of the cage at times, preventing the Bronzies from coming in to the bait or blocking their departure routes. I have no knowledge of local rules, but this intrusion was most disappointing. At least half of the dive time for the 2nd cage was "destroyed" by the Whale Catcher boat. I have no knowledge if this is a planned move by the Whale watcher as they "promise" their customers the "big 5" in the area. Nevertheless, the whole dive experience from breakfast snacks, the DIVE and the hot pumpkin soup afterward was fantastic. Thank you for a wonderful trip - Pieter
