White Shark Diving Tours
Great white shark diving at Gansbaai in South Africa is possibly
the greatest thrill that you will ever experience. Just imagine pulling up on the
boat in 'Shark Alley', the open stretch of water between the mainland and Dyer Island
off Gansbaai, referred to as the shark diving capital of the the world. You sit
patiently whilst the crew rummage in their bag of treats for these predators of
the deep. To most people, sloshing around in a container full of fish heads and
shark livers may not sound too desirable, but to our guests this is fantastic as
it is a tasty meal for a great white.
Sharks - An Overview
Sharks are one of the most feared creatures by man on this planet. The sheer thought of swimming or diving in Shark infested waters makes peoples skin crawl, and why? For some reason Sharks strike fear in almost anyone. Perhaps it is the film ‘Jaws’ or the media? Or is it just because people do not understand sharks and their role in this world? Most people know little more than the fact that sharks kill things and can kill us. There were only 63 attacks worldwide by sharks in 2002 and only 3 attacks were fatal. This sounds like 3 too many but just compare the following list of average estimated deaths per year for other causes:
- Shark Attack – 6
- Car Accident – 17,000
- Accidental Drowning in bath tub – 350
- Accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed – 500
- Sharks killed by man each year – 100,000,000
Sharks are actually very important to this world and the ecosystem. Without predators such as sharks there will be an abundance of lower level marine life and possibly a population explosion of this marine life. For example if Great White Sharks become extinct then the seal population will not be threatened any longer by a predator and will grow exponentially. With such an abundance of seals the population of fish and squid in the waters will be decimated by the abundance of seals. Then with a shortage of fish & Squid the Seals will not have enough food to survive. This chain affect goes much deeper and to levels that most do not know exist and ultimately the whole ecology of the area and many areas in the oceans will change. What people need to start understanding is that Sharks have a vital role to play and they deserve as much respect as any other creature that exists. Back in the 80’s following the Jaws movies the blood-sport of Shark fishing became a trend and thousands of Trophy hunters went out to get the ‘big one’. It was considered the ultimate goal to catch and kill a shark. Fortunately things are changing now and the world is slowly learning that Sharks are not just mindless killers but are intelligent, fascinating and beautiful. This is the age of Ecotourism and we are blessed to have many shark lovers out there who want to dedicate their lives to showing people what sharks are really like. Slowly pressure is being mounted on commercial shark fishing and finning operations and Shark finning and fishing is slowly being outlawed around the world.
White Shark Diving
Shark diving is now the new trend and each year there are more and more businesses opening worldwide with the intention of educating the world about all types of sharks. Thousands of people each year travel to remote destinations in the world to see and dive with sharks. There are over 400 species of shark in the oceans and virtually every ocean on this earth has sharks. Each year thousands of people travel with anticipation and nerves to see sharks and return educated, fascinated and full of love and respect for sharks.
Shark Diving Central Bookings
Our desire is to make it easy to give people the opportunity to search and find sharks around the globe and then book a trip to leave the normal world behind and spend some time in or on the ocean with these amazing creatures. We pride ourselves on providing a hassle free and 0% Commission added service to give people a fair deal when traveling worldwide for shark diving and viewing.
Our Goal
Our goal is to be a part of the process of changing the perception mankind has of sharks by educating people with shark diving and shark viewing worldwide. Hopefully this fear will eventually change to love and the world will have the same respect and love for sharks as we do dolphins. Even the mighty Great White Sharks have much more to fear from us than what we have to fear from them. We must start protecting all sharks and work together to make sure that after evolving for over 400 million years sharks do not get wiped out by us.
