The White Shark Diving Company operates in a responsible and eco-friendly manner, our staff and crew are well-trained individuals, and our facilities are upgraded on a continuous basis to ensure continued growth through customer satisfaction.

Ex Springbok rugby star Robbie Kempson heads The White Shark Diving Company which is known for its personal small group tours of maximum 12 people. They have resisted with buying much larger vessels like some of the other operators and like to keep the groups small so to ensure personal attention to everyone on board.

Once the sharks are around, a specially designed secure 4 man shark cage diving cage, which floats with part of the cage out of the water is lowered into the water. Divers are never more than 1 meter below the surface and anyone can give this a try subject to approval of the dive master.

In the winter months we may use surface supply air - this is a tried and proven method offering the safest and most comfortable dive. The air feed is monitored throughout your dive by a qualified crew member. A wide panoramic port, allows the diver to photograph, film and even reach out and touch the animal. Divers merely slide into the opening at the top of the cage and retrieve their mouthpieces. The cover at the top of the opening is closed before diving starts.

The shark makes its swift, surprise attack from below and behind, leaping out of the water making a terrifying, brief, shocking appearance from nowhere. Having struck with awesome power, it falls backwards, using the forces of gravity and its incredibly powerful body to move away from the boat and descends into the depths of the ocean, its elegant torpedo-shaped body leaving not even a ripple on the surface. Passengers can experience excellent surface viewing from the boat’s upper deck to get an all-round view of the sharks attacking, circling and descending. It is the ideal spot to capture the exhilarating action on film or shoot video footage - the water is no more than 6 meters deep on location so most days you will be able to see the sharks circling underneath.
