Soft Cage Diving South Africa

Shark cage diving typically involves diving in heavy metal cages in the cold waters of Gansbaai in Cape Town, specifically targeting the large Great White Sharks that inhabit that region.

However in the warmer waters of Durban, KwaZulu Natal, different species of
shark can be found on our cage dive like Blacktip sharks, Dusky Sharks, Spinner Sharks. Because these species are smaller than the Great White Shark and their main diet consists of small schooling fish, a much lighter “soft” shark cage can be used.

There is even the option of getting out of the shark cage for a true shark interactive and unforgettable experience.

We view the “soft” cage diving experience as a vital way to connect people with healthy shark populations. The activity is intended to increase the level of focus, awareness and compassion the public have for sharks.

A typical “soft” shark cage dive involves getting into a wetsuit or costume, donning a mask and climbing into a floating soft cage with between 5 and 30 sharks gliding gracefully by, the cage walls.
