Breaching Great White |
Dive Gansbaai, South Africa and come face to face with sharks
twice the size of grown men. You don't have to be a certified
diver to have an incredible adventure. It's not unusual to see
4 meter great whites as they feed on the area's large seal population.
You'll spend most of the day in the passageway between Dyer Island
and Geyser Rock, known throughout the world as Shark Alley. It
was around here that a 6.2 meter shark was accidentally caught
in a trawling net.

Gansbaai, located about 160km southeast of Cape Town, South
Africa, offers one of the world's finest locations for viewing
the Great White Shark and other marine animals.
