Shark
Alley, near Gansbaai, South Africa is one of a
mere handful of places in the world where this
magnificent predator can be found on a daily
basis. These sharks are surface feeders and are
happy to come and perform just inches from the
boat. You don't need to be a diver to get close --
though cage diving is also provided!
What we are offering you is the opportunity to
dive and meet a Great White Shark, face to face -
and on your own terms. Its an education and you
will soon learn that this magnificent creature is
in fact, highly misunderstood. It is a creature
which should be more respected than feared. And if
you spend some quality time with us, and with
them, you will quickly learn why.
Sharks are quite possibly the world's most feared
predators. From the smallest sand shark to the
enormous whale shark, they are sleek, muscled, and
some are almost as agile as a dolphin. There is no
doubt that they are the most evolved predators in
the ocean.

We
teach absolute beginners the basics of surfing,
show you the way to paddle out, catch a wave and
control your body weight as you stand up. We use
Mini-Malibu surfboards, which are designed with
flotation and stability in mind, making them
light, stable and easy to learn on.
Cape Town also offers the annual Big Wave Surfing
competition at Cape Point, every year. |

Walker
Bay is a breeding ground of the Southern Right
whale, and from July through to December, these
playful giants can be seen almost daily from the
Hermanus waterfront.. The whales are frequently
found just metres from shore, and Hermanus has a
reputation for providing visitors with the world's
best shore-based whale watching. The most common
sightings are of Southern Right Whales, which are
usually in pods of up to 20. Other common species
seen in these areas are Humpbacks, Mink, Brydes
and occasionally even Orca, otherwise known as
Killer Whales. Observe their spectacular mating
antics, newborn calves and marvel at the sheer
size of these magnificent mammals.
