  • 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.

Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail stingray, Cape Fur seals, Southern Right whales

Summary: We started our day rather early today, but that gave us a chance to enjoy the sun raising over the mountains! As soon as we got to the dive location, the sharks didn't make us wait for too long. The activity was great, even though the visibility wasn't on our side today. The Bronze Whaler sharks came in nice and close, however, so everyone managed to get a close encounter. As we were done we ventured around Dyer Island system to see some Cape Fur seals, a surprise was waiting for us in the alley: two majestic Southern Right whales appeared out of nowhere! 
The second trip of the day was just as lucky with some incredible shark action around the vessel!
