The ultimate Great White Shark experience

Since the moment Peter Benchley’s film Jaws was released there can be few people who have not heard of Great White Sharks. Benchley himself referred to these super-predators as “natural perfection”. Now it is time for you to meet them face to face!

Your first sighting may be from a distance, as the shark gracefully sashays and sways from side to side out of the blue, making her way towards the cage – and you. She is elegant, huge, sleek and well muscled. Ignoring the bait, and with mouth ajar displaying an incredible set of sharply honed triangular teeth, she swerves and turns just less than a metre from the cage, checking out the divers, eye to eye, as she passes. Still calm, and with no variation in the speed of her swimming, she leaves the adrenalin-rushed divers breathless with heart-pounding excitement. They can hardly believe that they stared this ‘Prima Donna’ of the shark world in the eye. That they looked, for a brief moment in time, straight into the deep, dark, unfathomable eyes of a Great White Shark!

South Australia and South Africa have traditionally been the locations for Great White encounters. Visibility in both locations can often be poor with water that can be green and murky. Now, at last, there is an opportunity to see Great White Sharks in crystal clear blue water and water that is reasonably warm. Don’t miss out on this!
