Opis

In South Africa, we are privileged to have access to great white sharks … if you know where to go, and when. The general public, too, can enjoy great white sharks face-to-face. Observing and diving with these creatures under the correct conditions and guidance is a wonderful experience. Even ‘anti-shark’ people return from an expedition or diving trip with love, and certainly respect, for the great white. White Shark Projects is without doubt the most successful white shark diving organisation in the world: Working in the unique marine area off the southern Cape coast, our skippers log more contact with great white sharks than anyone else worldwide. Our boat and crew Shark Team is an 11-metre, 4-ton catamaran with all the latest electronic and safety equipment. The boat was custom-built for shark diving, so there is plenty of space for everyone to view the sharks in comfort. While she can take 30 passengers, we have limited our licence to a maximum of 18 passengers plus crew to ensure client comfort. The company complies with strict regulations laid down by Marine Coastal Management and local governing authorities. We carry comprehensive public insurance and passenger liability. All safety equipment, first aid and life raft are on board as well as toilet facilities. White Shark Projects co-ordinates service delivery, conservation, education and research around one of the ocean's greatest predatory forces. We aim to work in harmony with our natural and social environment. The expectations of clients are met by excellent customer service, good value, and operational efficiency. Our crew and staff are distinguished by their functional and technical expertise combined with hands-on experience – ensuring our clients effective and professional service.

Each person spends about 20 minutes in the cage.

We operate a little beyond the edge of the southern African coastline and are primarily a water-based adventure operator, marketing white shark cage diving and viewing off the Gansbaai coast at Dyer Island. We also market sailing and motor boat cruises from the Waterfront in Cape Town, Hout Bay Harbour and Langebaan Lagoon on South Africa's West Coast.

We offer a range of activities in Cape Town and its surrounding areas as well as selected itineraries for tours in the city centre, along the Garden Route and up the West Coast.

Our well developed gap-year products include volunteer programmes with the white shark cage diving and viewing company, White Shark Projects. There are also one and 17-week sailing programmes with the Waterfront Boat Company and Ocean Star Sailing Academy.

African Edge Adventures is a Cape Town-based, inbound operator. As local agents, we're well placed to specialise in group events to South Africa. We facilitate all events from conference trips and incentive tours, to special interest outings and gap year programmes. We leave nothing to chance and aim for high-quality, planned solutions.
