Marine Dynamics enjoys sightings of great whites, copper sharks (bronze whalers) 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 one of the world’s greatest predators: the Great White Shark.
The experience puts you in their territory while the safety of the activity allows you to be an observer and learn what Great White Sharks are really like. An on board marine biologist will educate you about this amazing apex predator.
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.
A Shark Cage Dive / Viewing guided by a marine biologist, a light meal (breakfast or lunch depending on time of trip), refreshments on board and soup and bread on return is included.
Equipment such as wetsuits, booties, masks and towels is provided. Life jackets and waterproof jacket is alo supplied. Enjoy a hot water shower on board Slashfin.

Now THAT'S what I can an adventure! A great morning out on the high seas learning all about the shark population, conservation efforts and then getting up close and personal with them! An outstanding day, well structured, super-organised and entirely professional - loved every minute and can't recommend this highly enough, well done team!! - Ronald Rowley
Please do not miss your chance to join Marine Dynamics for your Shark cage experience from start to finish you are looked after by the MD Team and with a Marine Biologist on board you get to appreciate the world that these creatures live in. It is more than just about being in the water, and the included food before and after your dive was very good. Unforgettable 5 star, - Andrew Newton
Lovely experience. Marine dynamics are very professional and accommodating. They were flexible is rescheduling our dive multiple times due to bad weather and made it very easy for us. Their commitment to giving us a good experience and at the same time working on conservation of marine animals is quite impressive. Highly recommend them! - Yash Chheda
Had a great day out. From the moment we arrived at the purpose-built facility the professional attitude was apparent, good prep talk, nice breakfast, quick set up and walk to boat - which was purpose built; big, stable and powerful (1200hp engines!) excellent conditions (not down to Marine Dynamics, but welcome none the less!). They were honest enough to say that the day before there were no sightings, but on our trip we saw five sharks and other fish. Not a fan of chumming, but it does work. Quick trip back for a debrief and soup and rolls. - Bryant Stage
We enjoyed the experience very much !!! The crew were very helpful and friendly. The hot drinks on board was special. The briefing was excellent and also the breakfast. We can recommend the experience highly !!!! - Johan & Elize Oelofse
