I really loved going on the trip with shark explorers, it was fun and the crew was friendly. The diving experience was also enjoyable, plus on the way back we even saw a pod of dolphins :)) i recommend going with shark explorers for cage diving if youre ever thinking abt going

January 16, 2024We were a bit on the fence when we found out there were no longer great whites in the area (due to orcas feeding on them) but went for it anyway and were not disappointed. It was a brilliant experience, the team were super friendly and knowledgable and we got up close and personal with 10 bronze whaler sharks (and Denis the seal!). All the equipment was in great nick and we got lots of time in time water for viewing. Would highly recommend!

September 16, 2023Had a great basic scuba experience with Morné and Dillan! Shark Explorers is full of easygoing individuals who are passionate about what they do. They make the theory fun, simple to understand and more than anything ensure that you have a pleasant and safe time underwater. Truly enjoyed my experience would them and would 100% recommend to anyone curious about our amazing underwater world.

August 16, 2024What an unforgettable and incredible experience!!! My 11 year old daughter and I did the Shark Cage Dive with Shark Explorers in January 2024 and loved every second. The Shark Explorers crew is nice, professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. They do everything they can to make your experience in the cage and shark viewing the best (within their possibilities). We were able to get up close to Bronze Whaler Sharks, which even though they aren’t the famous Great Whites, are still very impressive that close. Definitely an experience I would recommend and with this company.

September 16, 2023We were diving with sharks explorers today and were very happy with their service. They were very friendly and tried their best to accomodate our wishes and find a good diving spot for us. Also they provided several towels and hot showers which made the cold water experience more comfortable. We also dived with another company located in Simons Town but shark explorers were by far the better choice.
