  • People are normally doing their best to stay away from sharks, especial the great white sharks. But today we are getting as close as possible to those fascinating animals by going cage shark diving in Cape Town South Africa.
    We decided to go with African Shark Eco-Charters as they are the only company offering oxygen, meaning that you can stay underwater much longer to make sure to not miss any shark sighting.

    But this experience was so much more than just sharks, even though we had tree really good sights where sharks came within a meter of the diving cage! On top of the many sharks, we saw thousands of seals, hundreds of dolphins and four penguins! This part of Cape Town (Simon's Town) is really filled with marine wildlife making this diving experience even more worth it.
    From the most thrilling boat ride of our lives, we went back to the hotel (Head South Lodge), changed and went back to the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront were we decided to go on the most relaxing boat ride in South Africa. A catamaran sunset cruise with Mirage Catamaran which was the perfect way to end the day.

    Very nice love V&A waterfront its awesome place to wonder around. I know you had limited time but if you ever go back try Ghansbii for the shark diving. Its a day trip there and back but so worth it to see great white sharks slide past your cage that you can literally reach out and touch. You can also see the southern right whales only 50 meters from shore at the right time of the year. Enjoy your birthday in Cape Town Tracy don't forget table mountain it is awesome. Thanks guys.

    Thanks for the vlog. 👍 Music. 🎶👍 I didn't know about the seal's island. Gerald the seal figured out a shortcut to quick to get free meals after it followed you from the island.😂 The cage shark diving experience is certainly amazing.👍 👏 Dolphins are intelligent. It is amazing when they race next to boats. Did Dave try to repeat walking backwards again?
    Just watched a BBC Earth video where a dolphin followed a stingray as it was hunting for an octopus. The dolphin was patient and quicker and got a free meal. That is what Gerald the seal is doing.
    You were smart on the sunset out on a Catamaran. Sorry about the unfortunate drone accident.
    Nice drone and underwater footage as always.👍Thumbs up to the bnb host for making the snacks. 👏 Thanks for all the information. You certainly had a great pre bday starter. Nice outro. Can't wait for the next one. Have a good evening and week. Stay safe.
