Want A Thrill This Winter ? Dive With The Sharks

the prayers have been answered. One of the recent additions to thrilling and captivating water sports is the “Shark Cage Diving” only exclusive to the Travel Capital of the World, South Africa.

Although this sport needs guts and a mighty heart but what isn’t a must is to be an expert of diving. Almost any one can have a blast after a short training or right to say, lecture on the subjects like safety and risk. The management makes sure that the Air tanks are filled, cylinders are placed inside the diving cages, safety equipment is checked and the boats are fuelled prior to your arrival

It is amusing to think that we are not as afraid of the monsters on the land, such as the leopards, tigers and the handsome African Lions, but about 90% of people are scared of the Sharks. It can be not be said for sure, whether its due to the terror spread by the horrifying Shark movies or if actually these animals of the deep actually pose a threat greater than an open safari in the Kruger. However, if we take the advice from those who have experience it, they considered it safe and enjoyable in a thrilling way, an experience new and exciting no where else to be found !

The top spots for Shark cage diving in South Africa are Gansbaai and Mossel Bay. The most inspiring one, is in the hot and happening city Cape Town. The Gansbaai is located just 2 hours drive from Cape Town. The drive to the beach serves as preparation time and you can celebrate the occasion while taking photos of the city heart and suburban attractions. The Gansbaai offers awesome South African shark cage diving experiences everyday in the picturesque Kleinbaai Harbor. The launching slip-way of Kleinbaai Harbor’s serves as the entry point for all cage diving expeditions to the islands. It becomes a beehive of activity on clear mornings.

If you are keen to see the great white sharks, visit the two Islands named the “Dyer Island” and “Geyser Rock” situated next to each other at about 12km offshore from Gansbaai.  Other wildlife species, found in the oceans of Cape Town are Cape Fur Seals, Cape Gannets, Cape Cormorants, African penguins, whales and dolphins. The abundant amount of penguins in this area is what attracts the Great White Shark and is their prime feeding ground. The best time to go Shark Diving is winter, which is from May to October in South Africa. The weather in South Africa can be quite unpredictable, so it is best to book a tour that lasts a few days. Flights to South Africa are available at almost all price ranges. Cheap flights to Cape Town from UK are offered by not only indirect flights such as Qatar Airways 95 star alliance) but also cheap direct flights are on promotional fares with British Airways these day.
