This is not a first for me, I do have some kind of history with the Great White! And for sure, this is not the exact place where I dream an encounter these days with a Great White. Don't worry, none of this is coded....here is the history! My first encounter...or let say should have been encounter was back nearly 10 years ago. I was staying in February at the Hermanus hotel...and that day the ... Read Full Entry

This blog is just short of 10 years old. We have now move to South Africa. Why South Africa? Simple, great wine, great food, great golf and even more amazing diving! I will for once continue to blog from time to time about home. After all, this is just my fourth continent after having grow up in Europe, lived in Asia for twenty years, and even spent a full year living the life of Buenos Aires. Come to visit....there is so much to do here! ... full info

NO WAY!
I have said it before but I will say it again: your kids are so brave! There is no way I will get in the water with Great Whites around... actually, just looking at the pictures makes me sea sick. I am truly scared of Great Whites... I guess it's because of the book and the movie... I know they are not really like they are shown in them but, still... they have massive teeth!! I hope one day you find a Great White while diving and not while inside a cage... then write about it so I can read it, because that is something I really hope not to experience in person!! Super brave Tiffany for even getting in the water, I take my hat off to your little (big) girl!

YES WAY! Smile!
As Leslie did put it simply....this is a joke, there is a cage....ok...he is big....but Papa....four Oceanic Black Tip right on me in Protea, that was something! I know for non divers, these words are crazy....but going to see Great White in a cage, is like the comfort of enjoying a lion from a safari car...no standing next to an elephant, on a walking safari, while he shows you his ears...that's as close a comparaison to diving as I can give...

I forgot to ask...
What do you mean by "50% of the guests on the boat will do a drop in the cage"? Will they shit themselves while they are in the cage or just not get in the cage at all? :D

50%...
50% will not go in the cage at all. For info, the price is the same, that you go in the water/cage...or not....
