Great White Shark Cage Diving, Gansbaai, South Africa
Cage diving at its best in Gansbaai South Africa with Great White sharks - a perfect day! The best day all year according to the crew. Orcas had entered the bay over the previous month or so and killed some great whites. Consequently the sharks were spooked and sightings were minimal at best. With low expectations, we set out and had our first shark 20 minutes after dropping anchor. Long story short, we had 6 great whites over the 3+ hours we were anchored and plenty of shark activity around the boat the entire time. Despite the low visibility (1 meter) and cold water (14 C) we had dramatic encounters as sharks came closer to the cage due to the poor vis. Weather was excellent for winter with air temps near 65 F and sunny although windy.
Thanks to the crew at Great White Shark Tours - Chrissie, Bryan, Gert, Eric, Happy, etc. for making our day special.
Special thanks to Luke of Infinity Freelance films for providing the videography which I coupled with my own footage to create this video.

Travel Vlog - Gansbaai, South Africa: Shark Cage Diving
It's time to say goodbye to Cape Town and continue our travels across South Africa. In this episode we drive 2 hours east to the coastal town of Gansbaai, where we got to go on our very first Great White Shark cage dive. Unfortunately we didn't get to see any Great Whites, but we did get to see a big group of Copper Sharks. I hope you enjoy the vlogs!

This became one of the biggest viral videos of 2016.
This is not our usual kids content and Gabe and Garrett did not go on this trip, this video is from my trip to Guadalupe Island (I'm their dad).
On a recent great white shark cage diving trip we experienced a very rare horrifying shark encounter event, a shark breaching the side of the cage. What might appear to be an aggressive great white shark trying to attack the cage, this is not the case. These awesome sharks are biting at large chunks of tuna tied to a rope. When a great white shark lunges and bites something, it is temporarily blinded. They also cannot swim backwards. So this shark lunged at the bait, accidentally hit the side of the cage, was most likely confused and not able to swim backwards, it thrust forward and broke the metal rail of the cage. There was a single diver inside the cage. He ended up outside the bottom of the cage, looking down on two great white sharks. The diver is a very experienced dive instructor, remained calm, and when the shark thrashed back outside the cage, the diver calmly swam back up and climbed out completely uninjured. The boat crew did an outstanding job, lifting the top of the cage, analyzing the frenzied situation, and the shark was out after a few long seconds. Everyone on the boat returned to the cages the next day, realizing this was a very rare event. The boat owner, captain, and crew are to be commended for making what could've been a tragic event into a happy ending. I'm sure God and luck had a bit to do with it too!
I want to return next year for another great white shark adventure!
FYI, being a kids channel, bad language in the comments gets caught in the filter.
Update based on comments:
1. Crew knows there's a diver in the cage, it's passengers asking if anyone is in there.
2. Shark had very minor injury and is confirmed okay.
3. These tour operators work with the gov't, non-profit agencies, sanctuaries, marine biologists for the good of the sharks.
4. Cage design and bait techniques are being reviewed and changes made if necessary to ensure safety for sharks and divers.
5. 'Leave the sharks alone' got them on the endangered species list because poachers won't leave them alone.
6. No video footage from diver.
7. If you want your post read, don't cuss because it will be auto-filtered.

Cage Diving with Great White Sharks in Shark Alley (Gansbaai, South Africa)
We went for a day trip to do a little cage diving with great white sharks in Gansbaai, South Africa. This area is known as Shark Alley. It's about a two hour drive from Cape Town. The water was EXTREMELY cold, and the visibility underwater was quite poor, as there was a storm lasting the previous three days.

The day before we set off on our adventure across Africa, we went shark diving with Shark Diving Unlimited in Gansbaai, South Africa. It was the perfect way to begin this epic journey but due to time constraints and for the sake of narrative structure, this scene didn't make it into the documentary.
