When I first learned I was headed to Southern Africa, tops on the list was going to Cape Town and follow that up with a shark diving trip. So on Xmas Eve Day, we booked the trip. Think of it as a gift a day early. It was amazing to see such a beautiful creature up close from behind a phone booth like cage. One even got so close it crashed into the cage. It was stunning. However, I wouldn't do it again despite the rush and my amazement with it. Part of it is the winds picked up and I became sick half way through the long trip at sea. So did 75% of the boat. Just about the only ones who didn't were the kids and crew. However the main reason is I just don't think it is sustainable for great white sharks to be drawn in just for my viewing with chum in the water and a baited line. There has to be a better way to appreciate the majesty of this animal.

No underwater shots? Where's the GoPro stuff? I wanna hear your screams. - Andrew
ReplyDeleteI do have the raw underwater video from the boat that was filmed with a GoPro! Trust me, you will see this someday when I get back and I edit it. (The GoPro I planned on buying I returned before leaving for Malawi)
