One of the coolest experiences of my life!!! I went through White Shark Projects (highly recommend them!!) It was a couple hours outside of Cape Town, but so worth the drive!!
Basically how it works is they send you down in the cage in the water with an air hole at the top. We clung to the top of the cage until they screamed "down!" And we would all hold our breath and go down. There was a yellow bar on the inside of the cage that was our safety to hold on to (it was further in than the rest of the cage) so our hands didn't get eaten. :) They had bait for the Sharks and in no time at all we saw so many up close!
I was worried about the water because, as most people know, I hate the cold!!! But it was so incredible I didn't notice it that much... I even stayed in longer than most people!
How exciting! I have a nephew doing research in Stollenbach and he did this. A highlight!
