Shark cage diving in Cape Town, it’s just a scary swim really
Activities like this include bungy jumping, sky diving, shark cage diving and big wave surfing, these activities have become so popular that there are companies that specialise in adventure tours, Cape Town is a mecca for people seeking the adrenalin rush with its miles of coast line and numerous mountains.
Shark cage diving in Cape Town is an activity which has recently been marred by controversy due to the increase in shark attacks off the coast of Cape Town, particularly in the False Bay waters where the shark cage diving companies operate. Many blamed the practice of chumming, to attract the sharks, for the increased shark presence off the False Bay coast. The fact is, however, that no real record of shark numbers were kept in the past so it’s nearly impossible to tell by how much the numbers may have increased. In fact the only the numbers which seemed to have increased over the last couple of decades is the number of bathers in the sea, meaning an increase in shark attacks is a logical conclusion. There is no scientific proof that the increase in shark attacks is linked to shark cage diving.
The Great White Shark is an extremely intelligent and misunderstood predator about which very little is known. It is to this end that shark cage diving in Cape Town is as important for ecology as watching lions in one of South Africa’s many game reserves. The adventure tours of Cape Town that allow tourists to see this magnificent creature in its natural habitat are doing the White Sharks and future generations a favour.
The adventure tour operators that run the shark cage diving in Cape Town have, perhaps, the best understanding of these creatures as being aware of the movements and habits of the Great White Shark is what their business relies on. The White Shark is an incredibly intelligent and savage hunter, using ambush techniques to hunt seals returning from fishing expeditions just of the islands on which they live. Cape Town shark cage diving operators are aware of this and take their adventure tours into what is known as the shark alley right near Geyser Island which houses a massive seal colony. It is here that the Great White Sharks have been documented breaching the water in an effort to catch their prey as they swim up from the depths at great speed.
Shark cage diving in Cape Town is not only an adrenaline rush; it’s an opportunity to witness a misunderstood and nearly endangered predator about which very little is known, in its natural habitat. It’ll give you a story to share with your grandchildren and hopefully create an awareness so that they might be able experience it themselves.

The Dive $3.99 In 1996, Francisco “PipÃn” Ferreras, a native Cuban and a world champion in the dangerous and controversial sport of free diving, met Audrey Mestre, a beautiful French marine biology student who had sought him out in Cabo San Lucas for her research. A passionate romance immediately bloomed between the two, and their love was bonded by a shared fascination with and devotion to the ocean. When the couple moved back to Miami, Audrey took up the sport herself and quickly proceeded to break the female world record (115 meters). They soon became free diving’s power couple, testing the limits of their wills and bodies by descending to unthinkable depths, training and touring together, encouraging and motivating each other. Then, on October 12, 2002, in a dive off the coast of the Dominican Republic, tragedy struck: Audrey’s attempt to break the world record with a dive of 170 meters ended in her death. Suddenly, PipÃn – haunted by questions, reeling from the loss of his soul mate – could no longer find solace in the sea that had always been his true home. Now, for the first time, PipÃn tells his story. |

Dive Boat $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A dive boat is a boat that scuba divers use to reach a diving site which they could not reach by swimming from land. Divers only spend a few hours at a time on these fast but exposed boats. The boat being small and easily transported on roads, is suitable for amateur use. These boats should carry basic safety equipment such as marine VHF radio and oxygen first aid. The divers enter the water by rolling backwards overside, and return to the boat by climbing back in over the soft rounded tubes after removing the heavy parts of their heavy diving equipment and handing it up. An advantage of this type of boat compared with similarsized rigid boats is that the inflated tubes make the boat very stable during the entry and exit of the divers.
