South Africa Shark Diving
Undoubtedly
one of the top shark diving regions of the world, South Africa offers
everything from shark diving with raggies to the ultimate experience of cage diving with Great
Whites! The Protea Banks The protea banks have gained a reputation as one of the world's best places to dive with the bull shark (also known as the zambezi), sand tigers, reef sharks, hammerheads and even the great white! Located on the east coast of South Africa, protea Banks is a reef system created by an old, fossilized sand dune. This reef is not only a great place for shark diving in South Africa, but makes for a great place to dive along side of manta rays, dolphin, turtles, and even whale sharks. Please note the protea banks is considered an advanced dive, for experienced divers equipped to deal with unpredictable currents. Great White Shark Diving & Dyer Island Six miles off of Gansbaai, off the Western Cape of South Africa, lies Dyer Island,- a low, rocky island that serves as a breeding ground for a wide variety of seabirds, while it's neighbour, a rocky outcrop called Geyser Islet, serves as a home for a large resident seal population. Put those two together and what you have is a nice meal for Great White Sharks! White Sharks, especially juveniles but also a few adults, are seen on a regular basis in the channel between the two islands where they feed on a variety of seals, seabirds, and penguins. This natural feeding ground is the main reason that many divers consider South Africa to be the one of the world's top shark diving destinations. With it's unique combination of wreck, reef, tropical and sub-tropical diving, and this prime natural hunting ground for great whites, South Africa has earned a reputation as "the shark diving capital of the world!" |

In the early to mid-seventies,
ironically at the height of the popularity of the movie
"Jaws," the Bahamas became known world-wide as a pioneer in
shark diving and shark feeding dives! With it's clear, pristine
waters, and dive sites including great wall diving and blue holes, and
its abundance of reef sharks, the Bahamas have become known as one of
the world's best places for divers to encounter sharks in their own
natural environment. Sharks can be found in literally all waters
around the islands, and a number of experienced dive operators can
assist you in shark encounters around the islands.
California
In the past 20 years, researchers
made startling discoveries about California waters. One is that
they discovered that great white sharks were returning to the Farallon
Islands and Ano Nuevo Island, off San Francisco and Santa Cruz,
year after year, to make dinner out of the resident population of seals
there. And another was that the remote Isla de Guadalupe, 200
miles south of San Diego, was home to a population as well.
