Gansbaai, 2 1/2 hours drive from Cape Town had become known as one of only two unique areas in the world, where the chances to view the Great White shark was exceptionally high.Generally Great White shark sightings in Gansbaai have been well below normal in the past few years with sightings of these rare animals being unpredictable and sporadic. On days and weeks, when great whites are not seen another species of shark, the Copper Shark has become a frequently encountered species in this area.
This area focuses on cage diving and it is unlikely to see the breaching behaviour here. Duration is 3 to 4 hours at sea based on sea conditions and shark activity.
The service is available year round except for Christmas and New Year.
