Hermanus this is the place to go for shark diving in South Africa. On the south coast, 2.5 hours east of Cape Town.

Accomodation There are loads of good hostels in the area, most give you a free night with the shark dive lacus.

Seal Island all the shark diving in the area is done on an island a few miles offshore where there are loads of sharks all year round.

Planet Earth Seal island is where they filmed the sharks jumping on planet earth.

Sharks I saw four different great white sharks during the day, ranging from about 2m to about 4.5m, the one with the scars on him nose took a particular liking to me.

Cowboys If you go shark diving in south africa be careful who you go with, the company I wnet with was very good, but some of the boats out there were smaller than the sharks!
