Cape Town – Shark diving

I kept myself busy in Cape Town, hence the lack of recent posts.  Overall, Cape Town was my kind of place.  Pretty much any extreme sport you can think of is available, plus sun, nature, wine, and a fun bar scene too.  I could easily spend 2 weeks in the region, so I guess I’ll have to go back sometime.

The first thing I did was cage diving with Great White Sharks.  The cage sticks out of the water and takes 5 people at a time.  The noise of scuba equipment sometimes bothers the sharks, so you just take a deep breath and go under whenever a shark is coming.   To be honest, although it was really neat being in the cage and seeing them underwater, the surface viewing from the boat deck was actually better.
