Gansbaai offer probably the best shark cage diving in the world. A number
of boats operate in the area - chumming to attract the sharks' attention
and vying with each other for the best position. Do it soon, as there is
increasing resistance to a practice that many people consider to be morally
indefensible, ecologically destructive and dangerous. Also visit
