Gansbaai Shark Cage Diving
Shark cage diving in Gansbaai gives visitors the chance to see some of the ocean’s most fascinating inhabitants up close.
Launching from Kleinbaai Harbour, about a five-minute drive from Gansbaai town, licensed tour operators take guests out to sea for unforgettable adventures on the water. For lovers of the big blue, there is plenty of action to watch from the deck and even more to enjoy if you choose to hop into the cage.
Safety is at the heart of every shark cage diving trip. The companies involved follow strict guidelines that protect everyone on board and marine life. Each boat is run by an experienced skipper who knows the Gansbaai coastline like the back of their hand. To help you navigate the cage and to answer all your questions, a qualified dive master and marine biologist will join you on your shark cage diving adventure. The crews are passionate about their jobs. They make it their mission to ensure each trip is educational and share insight into sharks and their surrounding ecosystem. Beyond the salty spray in your hair and the wonderful feeling of bonding with nature in your heart, you’ll go away from your shark cage diving adventure feeling enriched with knowledge.
Although sharks are the main attraction, it is common to see other marine life along the way. You might spot anything from cheeky seabirds and playful penguins to playful seals and friendly dolphins. During whale season, some of the ocean’s gentle giants often make an appearance.
