<font color='#FF00FF'>Hello there,

I have just returned from honeymoon in South Africa, as a surprise my husband arranged for us to go cage diving with Great Whites.

This was never something on my top priority but after doing it I would recommend it to anyone. If I remember correctly we saw around 6 sharks ranging from 3 to 5 meters in length.

It was defiantly a day to remember (although I was a little sea sick).

The added bonus to this day was that this was something my dad (Diving Dude) has wanted to do from the day we started diving, and now has to cope with the fact this his daughter has done it. He he.

Hi Rebecca,

I'm very very jealous - not the honeymoon, just the diving. Going in with the great whites is something I've fancied for years. every time I mention it to my wife (non diver) she tops up the life insurance and suggests it would be more "natural" without the cage.......

<font color='#000080'>Hi Rebecca,

Going to the Cape in September and we have pre booked a 2 day trip to do cage diving with the whites.

Any info on your experience would be much appreciated, i.e. time in cage, thermal protection used, general vis....

Either PM or maybe write a trip report and post it on the board.

Thanks in advance.

Congrats on getting wed and I'm as green as hell (with jealousy, not any form of congenital disease!) on your shark dive! I've been to SA twice (dived once) and have still to do the Cage Diving with Whites. Did you go to Gaansbai to do it?? Any pics??

Daz, I hate you too
