    Expérience assez dingue ! Aucun niveau de plongée requis. Des requins à quelques centimètres. Des dauphins et otaries en bonus. Personnel très sympa en plus. Vraiment top

  • Couldn't have asked for a better experience with the crew at Shark Explorers. It's a rare find these days to find a team so warm, welcoming and experienced as this bunch. Truly went above and beyond to make things happen regardless of the obstacles we were thrown. Can't wait to come back for some more diving soon 🙌

    All I can say is wow! From the time you walk through the door till the time you leave you are treated like family. Everyone at sharkexplorers goes above and beyond to make this one of the most memorable experiences Cape Town has to offer. Their briefing and safety far surpassed my expectations and after a short 30 minute drive out to the dive site the action begins! They are extremely helpful and just as enthusiastic as the guests which makes for a much more enjoyable experience. I observed a boat next to us and they definitely weren’t having as much fun as we were! I would high recommend sharkexplorers as your No 1 shark cage diving expert in Cape Town
