Marine Dynamics enjoys sightings of copper sharks (bronze whalers), visiting great white sharks and even the occasional stingray at our vessel. Great White Shark behaviour is less predictable post orca predation in 2017. Daily blog of sightings is available. All content on our website is the property of Marine Dynamics.

Unlike bungy jumping or sky diving, the adrenaline rush from shark cage diving comes from being face to face with our ocean’s top predators.
The experience puts you in their territory while the safety of the activity allows you to be an observer and learn what these sharks are really like. An onboard marine biologist will educate you about these amazing predators.
Shark Cage Diving is safe for children and elders and gives the whole family a wonderful opportunity to bond in a fun environment surrounded by experts and researchers.
After this once in a life time experience, you’ll find yourself buzzing with excitement and adrenaline. You will have had the opportunity to come up close and personal with one of the oceans most majestic and foreboding creatures.
Here is a brief breakdown of what to expect once you arrive:
• Before the trip guests meet at THE GREAT WHITE HOUSE in Kleinbaai
• You will receive breakfast or lunch and register your wetsuit size
• Guests receive a pre-trip safety briefing about what to expect during the trip and a biological background on great white sharks
• We then take a 200m stroll down to the harbour to board Slashfin
• Travel time to Dyer Island is approximately 20 minutes, with the shallows being a short 10 minute ride (where we anchor depends on where the sharks are)
• On average, we anchor for 2 hours, but this depends on shark activity, conditions, as well as number of divers
• Weather permitting, we take a quick trip through the infamous Shark Alley
• Lastly, a debrief in the Great White House and a celebratory beverage to toast the occasion!
Why We Are Different:
• A dedicated marine biologist on board every trip
• Our Boat (Slashfin) is the largest in the industry (most deck space per customer) and was purposely built for shark cage diving and includes two restrooms, and an upper deck for the ultimate viewing and photography experience when not in the cage.
• A fully licensed Restaurant and Crew House, aptly named the GREAT WHITE HOUSE, which includes facilities such as: 2 marine rooms where professional safety and informative briefings are given before each trip + separate ladies/gents/handicap restroom facilities with a 5-star rating + curio shop
• We guarantee clean, dry wetsuits (a rarity in the industry)
• Our crew receives as many compliments as the Great White Sharks, with more combined experience than any other Shark Cage Diving crew.
• You will leave with great memories and a deep appreciation of this majestic animal.

Despite an early start and long drive the experience was fantastic. We didn't see the great white but there were plenty of bronze whalers, a seven gill, a couple of stingray and a very playful cape seal. We got to spend about 20 minutes in the cage. Although the water was murky you couldn't see the sharks under the water unless they were right next to the cage but you did get a really good view above the water. The staff were amazing looking after you with plenty of hot drinks and snacks. The experience included a breakfast before going on the water and hot soup afterwards. We had an 8 year old child in our party and she was allowed to take part in the cage. I would recommend this trip during a stay in Cape Town. Thank you for some wonderful memories. - Joanne
Incredible experience and such a well run tour, the communication was great, service was excellent and well worth doing Getting in the cage and seeing sharks up close was a real bucket list moment for me Thank you - Mark
We were absolutely satisfied with our shark cage diving experience. The whole team was amazing, including our driver, biologist, volunteers, and everyone who were on board. Everything was very well organized, and the atmosphere was great. We have seen beautiful sharks and rays during the diving. The breakfast and the light lunch were also very nice additions to the experience. And we loved to see the penguins on our way back! Also it was great to learn about the team's efforts to protect these animals (sharks and penguins). Congratulations, we really loved the whole experience! :) - Dora
