Diving Experience Overview
The Shark Cage Diving Experience
Your Experience Begins
Enjoy a warm welcome at our Great White House, the meeting place where your adventure will begin
Upon arrival you will be served a continental breakfast or hot lunch while checking-in for your experience. We then conduct a detailed safety briefing, while our team organises your gear and equipment, including a bag with your wetsuit and booties as well as a life-jacket and weather-proof jacket
The Journey To Shark Alley
A short stroll down the road will lead you to our purpose built boat
Once you have boarded the vessel, our experienced skipper will ensure you are prepared for the conditions on the day. After setting out from the harbour, guided by our knowledgeable and experienced team, look out for other marine life such as whales, dolphins and penguins along the way
Up Close and Personal
Once the boat is anchored at Shark Alley it's time to get geared up for a once-in-a-lifetime shark experience
As the sharks begin to arrive our team will assist you in getting into the cage that is set alongside the boat. Dip below the surface and watch as the sharks cruise by. From the deck you can witness all the action in the water below while enjoying hot chocolate and snacks. Our onboard marine biologist is ready to help you discover and learn more about these magnificent creatures
