Great White Shark Cage Diving 1, Gansbaai, South Africa
I was picked up by a White Shark Project mini bus, along with four other people from different hotels, and driven two hours out of town to Gansbaai for shark cage diving!
We kitted up in our wetsuits and were divided into two groups. My group was second so we headed up to the top of the boat and watched the action from there. The sharks responded to the chum in the water and came to investigate the tuna head and the toes of the bait in the cage...
Then it was my turn. Surprisingly I wasn't nervous, just climbed in and followed instructions. The water was quite cold, 12 degrees celcius, but the wetsuit was thick. We didn't use snorkels or tanks. Part of the cage is above water and you keep you head above until the spotter yelled down! At which point you hold your breath and push yourself down under the water.

Dead great white shark retrieved from Dyer Island, Gansbaai | Dyer Island Conservation Trust
Wednesday 18.06.2012
Cage diving operators alerted Wilfred Chivell (Dyer Island Conservation Trust - dict.org.za) to a dead great white shark lying on the shore of Dyer Island, Gansbaai, South Africa.
Plans were then made to launch several boats for a retrieval mission. After Wednesday's seas proved too rough, three boats (Calypso, Lwazi and Free Willy) were launched on Thursday morning and the team embarked on an exciting journey to the island.
Free Willy, the smallest of the boats, made several journeys to and from the island to drop the team off and they made the way to the shark. Dyer Island is a private wild and seabird reserve and rarely accepts visitors. The team were lucky enough to spend a couple of hours on it during which time the shark was lifted into a specially built cradle for stranded animals and moved to the water. This cradle was then inflated and the shark was lifted step by step to the sea by a team of divers.
Calypso then sent a rope out to the dive team who attached it to the cradle. She then towed the shark and the team back to the boats and began it's journey back to shore where the boats were greeted by TV crews and hundreds of onlookers. To read where the white shark was taken and what the plans are, follow this link:

Into Africa: Shark Dive in Kleinbaai (Shark Alley) - 10/15
We drove from Cape Town to Kleibaai (2 hours) to dive with Great Whites near Shark Alley. SharkwatchSA.com was our guide. There were about 30 people in our group to get into the cage, so we did four groups about 20 minutes each. We were off season, so the sharks weren't as active, but we still have about 12 or more different sharks. The water was a comfortable 56 degrees. The service was great. They gave us breakfast while we waited. The had snacks on the boat. And we ate lunch at the restaurant before heading back to Cape Town.
