The dates for this expedition have been selected based on our data which shows that this is the best cross over time to see a multitude of species in our area. The primary focus is on three environments.

1. Seal Island- Great white sharks-cage diving, breaching and the beginning of the predation season.
2. Pelagic offshore- cage dive with Mako & blue sharks, view a multitude of pelagic bird species, regular sightings of gamefish and cetaceans. As this is a mixing zone for both sub tropical, temperate and cold water species a variety of other wildlife species not mentioned may be seen off the South Western tip of Africa.
3. The Kelp forests- Scuba dive with seven Gill Cow sharks and various endemic shark species.

Although all of our trips are weather dependant we traditionally average 7/10 days at sea during this period.

Based on the weather conditions we will select the best activity possible for any day.

The aim will be to do 7 days with the great whites, 2 days offshore pelagic diving, 1 day kelp diving.

Great white shark trips are 7am to 12.30pm.

Pelagic shark trips are 7am to 3/4pm.
