The
Boat
For our Shark Cage Diving in Cape Town, we use one of the
most modern and luxurious boats available in the shark diving
industry- a 12.5m Lee Cat which is extremely stable- something
to consider if you think you might get seasick.
Although she is licensed to carry a maximum of 20 passengers,
we do not take more than 15 clients per tour. This not only
ensures maximum comfort, but also ensures maximum cage diving
time for all divers. Our boat offers state-of-the-art facilities,
which includes; sophisticated and securely structured 5-6-man
steel cage, spacious cabin, large upper shark-viewing deck,
sunbathing area, private lockable toilet, fresh water showers,
private restroom with bed, fresh drinking water, wet deck
and separate dry-deck for maximum comfort.
She is fully licensed to SA safety standards and is equipped
with 2 radios, radar equipment, navigation equipment, depth
finder, echo sounder, medical first aid kit (including oxygen
an fluid replacement), current safety equipment, life vests
for all passengers and a 50-man life raft.
Our boat, cage and life raft are inspected on an annual basis,
ensuring maximum safety for all our passengers
The
Shark Viewing Cage
Able to hold several people.
Cages are built to hold two, four or even six people, so you
can get to experience the sharks with the whole family.
Close to the surface.
The cage actually floats and doesn't go deep at all since
sharks are surface feeders. It's therefore easy to keep in
touch with the boat crew and you can always get out of the
cage quickly if the adventure becomes a little too exciting.

The Diving Cage
Rodney Fox, an Australian diver, has been credited
with inventing the shark cage. Rodney became shark bait while
spear fishing in Australia. After getting sewn back to his
original shape, he turned his attention to the study of the
Great White Shark and to avoid being attacked again, designed
the first under water observation cage.
The diving cage is .....
Safe.The diving cage is specially designed to withstand the
bite of a Great White (although they haven't ever attacked
a cage to date) while still allowing the diver a good view
of the shark. The diving cages are made from 12mm galvanized
steel.
