Diving With Great White Sharks

By , About.com Guide

Diving with the Great White Sharks in South Africa is one of the best adventure travel options Africa has to offer. It's a bit like experiencing a shark attack without the scars. Certainly a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Great White Shark, since there isn't a single one in captivity.

These images of a Great White are only possible to witness from the safety of a specially designed diving cage. Since Great Whites love to eat, diving operators are able to 'chum and bait' the sharks so you are almost guaranteed to see them. This way you can also stay on a boat and watch if being in a diving cage is a little too exciting for you. There are several tour operators in South Africa offering this incredible experience.

Thanks to Africa Shark Dive Safaris for the use of these images.
