Shark Cage Diving in South Africa
Who wants to know how many teeth this impressive predator has?! You will be able to find out soon while diving with them!
African Shark Eco charters
are THE specialists of sharks in Cape Town. They offer various shark trips from Simons Town and the famous Seals Island, False Bay. Their boat, the Blue Pointer, is perfect to make great shark pictures. It has actually been used to make the shark show Airjaws 1 and 2 on Discovery channel.
Gansbaii (1h30 drive from Cape Town) is the other famous place where most of the shark diving centers operate from.
Most of the time, they will pick you up in Cape Town or Hermanus depending where you stay and take you to the diving and bring you back on the evening.
The nice thing is that you could enjoy a shark diving in South Africa as well as a whale experience, if you are in Cape Town for the
whales season.
You should then stay in Hermanus to do your shark diving and then enjoy a whale tour the day after or the day before.

"Reduce the chance of Shark Attack
Always stay in groups since sharks are more likely to attack a solitary individual.
Do not wander too far from shore, this isolates an individual and additionally places one far away from assistance.
Avoid being in the water during darkness or twilight hours when sharks are most active and have a competitive sensory advantage.
Do not enter the water if bleeding from an open wound or if menstruating, a shark's olfactory ability is acute.
Wearing shiny jewelry is discouraged because the reflected light resembles the sheen of fish scales.
Avoid waters with known effluents or sewage and those being used by sport or commercial fisherman, especially if there are signs of bait fishes or feeding activity. Diving seabirds are good indicators of such action.
Sightings of porpoises do not indicate the absence of sharks, both often eat the same food items.
Use extra caution when waters are murky and avoid uneven
tanning and bright colored clothing, sharks see contrast particularly well.
Refrain from excess splashing and do not allow pets in the water because of their erratic movements.
Exercise caution when occupying the area between sandbars or near steep drop offs, these are favorite hangouts for sharks.
Do not enter the water if sharks are known to be present and evacuate the water if sharks are seen while there. And, of course, do not harass a shark if you see one!"

Hiking under the moonlight
Oh! This is such a great experience! Your heart won't be pumping as such (except if you're afraid of woolves! just kidding!) but you'll enjoy it! The hike is in the winelands (Stellenbosch). It starts at a farm and ends on top of a hill where you should plan to have a nice glass of wine with snacks while the sun dropped down and the moon rose! So romantic! The hike is quite popular so when you go down don't forget to watch behind you the beautiful scream of light coming down the hill (hikers with their torches). It's so beautiful! Let me know when you will be in Cape Town, I can't organize the full moon but I can organize the hike! Just let me know your dates to check if Madam the Full Moon is planning to be aroun that time!
