Backpacking South Africa

Our shark cage diving is done in crystal clear water no deeper than six metres. April to September is the best time of the year to do shark diving.  As many as 18 sharks has been seen on some of the outings, but most of the time there is four or five swimming around the cage.  The water temperature vary between 15˚ to 20˚ C.  We let the divers take turns in the cage for a time of between 15 to 20 minutes.  A average visibility of between 4m to 6m, but on a clear day it may exceed up to 15m.  On occasion the sharks do brush against the cage, but no attacks on the cage have been reported as to date.
