  • Shark cage diving in Gansbaai, South Africa with Marine Dynamics. Experience the exceptional and come face to face with a great white shark! 

  • The exact world record white shark is a contested issue, but chances are it is between 6-7m. In Gansbaai, the largest white shark ever caught was at Danger Point and measured up to 5.9m.

  • If you see a white shark in the water don’t panic. Chances are high that the shark has already detected you and isn’t interested. White shark attacks are normally associated with poor visibility, so avoid murky conditions.

  • White sharks have a unique system called a “counter current heat exchange”, which keeps their body  tempreture +/- 7C above the surrounding water temperature. 

  • All sharks have an incredibly unique system on the tip of their nose called the “ampillae of Lorenzini”. These are small pores filled with a gel that transmits the electrical currents in the water to the shark’s brain so that it can assess its environment.

  • White sharks give birth to live young (not eggs), and they give birth to 6-8 pups at one time. Pups are usually between 1.0-1.5m in length and are born with teeth.

  • Body language has been a well documented form of shark communication and has identified body arching, jaw gaping, and other postures as specific social tactics.

Trip Summary: It was another early morning for our first group of divers and spectators who joined us for a shark cage diving experience today. We set off from Kleinbaai harbor with the sun shining and a gentle breeze blowing. After a few minutes of waiting at our anchor, the activity of the Bronze whaler sharks picked up and the visibility improved. On our first trip, we also had the chance to observe a massive Short-tail stingray. During the second trip, the Bronze whaler sharks were once again active and all divers had the opportunity to witness their beauty and presence. We would like to thank all our guests for joining us today!
