Great White Shark Cage Diving at Dyer Island Gansbaai South Africa

 

Andre Hartman reaching out to a Great White Shark!

Dive into the Waters of the Great White Shark!

 

26 Degrees Celsius above me, 16 Degrees Celsius below me. To my right, a colony of Cape Fur seals, to my left, a colony of Jackass Penguins.

Where am I?

I am sitting on a boat in the Atlantic ocean just off the tip of Africa.

Why?

Because I'm on a quest to see the famous Great White Shark up close and personal. Think about it, with food on my left and food on my right, it's almost guaranteed that the White Death Predator will be in the center of it all, just below my shadow. The crew already started on luring in the predator. I wait & just as I'm about to turn my head, I see a fin slicing through the water. Although my legs feel paralyzed, I rise to my feet with adrenaline pumping through every vein in my body. I watch this predator gracefully making it's way to the bait. To my disappointment, it passes by & disappears underwater. I feel like yelling with frustration, but before I could even gather my breath I saw the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Out of the blue, from the depths of the ocean, I saw the huge mass of the White Shark thrusting through the water from beneath, it approached the surface at great speed and performed the most accurate and beautiful breach I ever could have imagined. It's whole body airborne for a split second until gravity pulled it down onto it's prey (The bait) with spot-on precision. The bait disappeared and did the shark leaving a violent froth of water boiling on the surface.

Now my mission!

To only have a steel cage separating me with a one on one encounter in HIS world! In 16 degrees Celsius water, the ball will definitely be in the court of 'Jaws'. This time, the shark is the tourist & you the zoo animal. Watch him smile & check you out, but you will soon realise all is not what was thought about this beautiful beast.

Next mission........ Touch him? Yeah, Babe!
