Shark Cage Diving Gansbaai trip and transport times
WSDC operates 1 to 3 cage diving trips per day, with trip meeting times ranging from early morning to midday.
White Shark Diving Company limits the number of passengers on board each trip for a personalized, exclusive experience with increased shark diving time in the cage.
The duration of the Shark Cage Diving Gansbaai excursion from your time of arrival at our premises to your time of departure is approximately four and a half hours. The time spent at sea from launch to return to the harbour is approximately 2 – 3 hours, and the exact dive/cage time as well as the number of dive sessions differ from day to day, depending on shark activity and sea conditions. When making your booking, please ensure that you have the full day available for this excursion as we cannot guarantee start or finish times in advance.
Travel time from Cape Town is roughly 2.5 hours.
If you opt to make use of our transport service, collection times will be confirmed on the day prior to your trip.
*Exact times vary due to seasons, tides, sea and weather conditions, number of daily trips, shark activities, etc.
The final/24 hour weather and sea report will be reviewed on the day prior to the dive and the trip time schedule and subsequent transport pick-up times will be advised via e-mail on the day before the dive.

Additional information about our Shark Cage Diving Excursion:
- We lower the floating cage into the water and secure it to the side of the boat. We then issue wetsuits and equipment to our guests. Our videographer and Marine Expert captures all the excitement on video once the diving and shark activity begins. The captain is authorized to make any changes to on board trip activities based on safety measures and shark activity.
- Shark activity takes place on and just below sea level. No scuba gear or diving certification is required as the free-floating cage is attached to the side of the boat and guests use a simple breath-holding technique for effective underwater viewing as sharks pass the cage.
- Kindly bring your own towel as we are deeply committed to all conservation efforts during the current water crisis and will have minimal towels available.
- Underwater digital camera rental (including memory card, which you take home with you).
- Video footage of your trip available for purchase.
- Alternative meal options for passengers with specific dietary requirements, by prior arrangement only.
- We generally have shark sightings through the year, however, please bear in mind that sightings of wild animals can never be guaranteed. In the unfortunate event that no sharks were sighted during your trip, we do not offer refunds but, we will provide you with a non-transferable voucher (valid for two years) allowing you to join us for another trip free of charge on a date of your choice (dependent on availability).
Round-trip transport:
- From Cape Town or close surrounds in our air-conditioned vehicles with free WiFi
- Private vehicles/road transfers or helicopter transfers are available on request.
