Shark CageDiving by Jack White (11)

‘The shark cage-diving was super fun and I learnt a lot about sharks and fish. The speedboat trip out was really exciting because you ramp up and down on the huge waves. When you get to the dive spot they put out chum and generate sounds to attract the sharks. It was amazing when you saw the fins on top of the water and the actual sharks beneath. We saw black-tip sharks, kingfish, rainbow fish and some other species. The water was warm and the visibility was great.’ • John Miller operates Shark Cage Diving KZN from Rocky Bay.
