The Minister’s reaction upon seeing the sharks: “Seeing these great white sharks, seeing them underwater and nearby is something quite unique and I would strongly recommend that everyone should do it sometime in their lifetime”. The water was a warm 19,7 degrees and five great white sharks were seen. Hanekom was joined by his wife Trish who enjoyed the research aspect shared by the marine biologists on board - "Such a fabulous experience, a unique combination of shark diving, responsible tourism, science, education, conservation and benefits for communities. Thank you.”
