  Best value for money out of all the different shark diving vendors in Gaansbai. Had a fantastic experience in the middle of March. While great white sharks couldn't be seen due to the orca predation, we still saw a ton of sharks that were great white lookalikes although quite a bit smaller. They still reach 2-3 meters in length and enjoyed the trip very much. It can be quite a long drive from Cape Town Downtown however. There was a nice light breakfast and a hearty soup snack afterwards.

  Fantastic company. Would recommend to anyone who wants to see great white sharks. Saw 3 great whites on our trip in Mossel Bay and got loads of time in the cage with them. Fantastic crew on board very knowledgeable. Jannine was brilliant and organized the entire day for us, so helpful and responsive. Cannot speak highly enough of how good the experience was and how great the team were. Thank you!

  We highly recommend!!!
Amazing service, we went on 2 excursions with them - swimming with sharks and the Big Five. They helped us find a free hotel and always responded quickly. Compared to other companies, the sharks were better fed and therefore the sharks were always near the cage and we allowed to swim twice in the cage. We highly recommend company to everyone!

  Fabulous trip, very well organised. Safety and the welfare of the sharks are first and foremost. Don't go expecting to see Jaws. Lots of active sharks when we went in November. Sea sickness tablets are a must. Definitely worth doing if you want to see sharks in their natural environment.

  We had a fantastic time! The waters were choppy and a lot of people felt it, so motion sickness tablets is a must, and even then you might feel it. We were well looked after, and I highly recommend this company. Of course, the sharks are wild and interference with them is kept to a minimum, so you might not see any, but we saw loads!

  My friend group had an absolutely amazing experience! Staff was kind and accommodating throughout the entire booking experience as well as throughout the dive itself! I felt completely safe and secure the whole way through, and staff walked us through safety procedures beforehand so we knew what to expect when getting on the boat and going into the cage. We saw so many sharks up close and the GoPro we rented from them got incredible footage! 10/10 would recommend and book again!
