Join white shark conservationist Craig Ferreira and his team of shark conservationists from the white shark research institute (WSRI) on a 7-10 day cage diving safari off the cape of South Africa.

White Shark preservationist Craig Ferreira will host you on this intense diving experience as you track, locate and location-tag white sharks off the coast of south Africa- cage diving in around the famous “shark ally” channel of Dyer island.
Setting sail from Gansbaai you will trawl along the southern coast, visiting remote seal colonies along the way to this famous dive location.
Once white sharks are located you will descend in you own cage in the presence of this the worlds largest and most voracious predatory fish. We travel with two cages and each cage accommodates two divers so you will have unlimited access to shark viewing. Returning to base each evening you will be hosted at Craig's purpose built lodge in Gansbaai where you will be served hot wholesome evening meals and receive further lectures, films and instruction into the challanges of whiteshark conservastion.
It was on a 10-day trip with Craig in 1997 that we were able to make their well-documented interaction with a 5 m shark.

Craig and his team are the best in the business and are dedicated to saving the white shark from extinction.
