Cage diving with great white sharks.
The adrenalin kicks in while you're still on the mainland. Cage diving with great white sharks is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and certainly the highlight of any diving career. From the safety of the cage tethered to the boat's stern you can observe the ocean's apex predator as it cruises around. Words of warning: It takes some time to feel truly comfortable. With seals barking on the shore, and sights and smells you don't usually associate with a dive boat, this is diving with a difference. Once the bait is in the water it's a waiting game. When the sharks do turn up, their size will leave you gobsmacked! You haven't truly dived until you've seen a great white.
