The guides were very knowledgeable and informed us on the situation with sharks in South Africa and told us how we can help. The tour itself was very comprehensive, as it included hot drinks, snacks, penguin sightings, shark sightings (obviously), and wet suits for everyone to use. The pictures and videos taken by the friendly crew really made my day. The drive was long to get to the bay, but the experience was totally worth it.

I was so scared my whole body wash shaking. I almost chickened out ? Amy, the biologist on board, talked me through it. Assured me it was safe and I had one of the greatest experiences of my life. 10/10 would recommend

Easy pick up and drop off from Capetown.
Lots of big sharks, but the great whites were migrating and didn’t see them. Doesn’t matter though the experience was amazing to watch the big sharks eating and swimming within inches of our cage. Bucket list item complete ?

Fantastic experience! We saw about 15/20 bronze whalers, the transfer was definitely worth it as after the tour we were so tired ?. Great organisation and I couldn’t recommend higher!

Amazing time! They provide pick up and drop off service and feed you before you go on the water. The sun was out and the water was calm, the crew is really good, high energy and informative. The Atlantic is murky water so definitely little to know visibility when you go under but the crew does a good job bring the sharks to the cage. We saw plenty of cooper sharks, there was seal kept hiding under the boat and whales were breaching. Would do again when I go back to South Africa. And dont forget to get the video

We had a fantastic time shark cage diving with Marine Dynamics. We chose MD after doing research on the ethics of the activity. MD stood out among the rest for the.methods used during the dives and also for their extensive conservation work. They are part of the Dyer Island Conservation Trust (look them up).
As their website indicates, Great White Sharks are a rare sight and we did not see any. We were told the last sighting was 5 weeks before our dive so it is still possible, just don't expect it. We did see plenty of Bronze Whaler Sharks, a Cape Fur Seal, and lots of Cape Cormorants. The guide on the boat is very informative.
They provide an orange waterproof jacket, a wetsuit, booties, goggles, a shoulder weight, and a life jacket. Someone is on board making a video which they'll sell you and email it to you later. (At the time of this post we found that the link emailed to us for the video went to spam and it expires after 48-hrs. We will see if they can resend it to us. So watch your email closely!). You can also bring your own GoPro. They also had a driver pick us and others up at our hotels in Cape Town to drive us there and back (2 hrs each way). To get this you must choose the package with the return trip (for the Americans reading this, the word for "round trip" in South Africa is "return". It is both ways, not only the trip back.) The drive itself is so beautiful, an excellent way to see the countryside. Our driver was very friendly and would answer any questions along the drive. We learned a lot about South Africa by talking to him during the drive.
Great experience. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend this experience. It was as equally exhilarating as it was safe and informative. They were very responsive when we had to reschedule due to weather and made the change immediately. Not to mention we had up to 18 sharks in front of us at once!

absolutely to be avoided. we were scammed. we were on the boat for an hour and a half, when it should have been 2 hours / 2 and a half hours they didn't take us to the shark alley and they didn't even try to show us the sharks. between going and returning from Cape Town 6 hours by car, then 1 hour of words to waste time and finally 1 hour and 30 minutes of excursion. Avoid this agency
