Instructions on how to have the best day ever:

1. Begin with a leisurely rise at 8AM
2. Hop on a bus an enjoy the amazing views down the coast of South Africa
3. Arrive at your destination and sign your life away - I have medical insurance and I will not sue for anyinjury done to me...
4. Get on a boat and make your way out into the indian sea
5. Stop to see whales breaching... bonus!!
6. Stop near the seal colony and watch as blended fish guts are thrown into the water along with a cutout of a seal.
7. Wait 30 mins
8. See great white shark!!
9. Put wetsuit on and jump in the water with great white shark
10. Scream and squirm for 30 mins while the shark passes by, attacks the cage and brings in friends.
11. Get out of the water and watch as the next group goes through the same steps
12. Repeat 3 times!!!

This is what the cage looked like. The divers were out waiting for a shark to come near. When it comes near they jump in and dive down.

We were told that the sharks that visited us were average sized. This one is about 3.5 meters long
