Cage Diving does not require a scuba certification. Minimal snorkelling experience is all you need to go down in the cage. Should you not want to get in the water, the Sharks can be observed closely from the boat as they are surface feeders. All diving equipment is supplied free of charge, including towels. Warm clothing, a cap, sun block, camera & film are essential items you need to bring. A light lunch, cool drinks, fruit & other snacks will be provided on board. The experience is suitable for ages 8 years onwards. Please remember that the trip is 5-6 hours at sea and naughty children may be used as bait if necessary.
