We then proceed to the sea where we will spend 2 to 4 hours (depending on how often the sharks visit the boat). The cage takes 5 people at a time, each person spends about 15 minutes in the cage. The White Shark Project is without a doubt the most successful white shark diving organization in the world. Working in a unique marine area off the southern Cape coast, our skippers log more contact with great white sharks than anyone else worldwide.
