A shark cage diving tour is judged on the crew, the boat and how the operator handles the sea. Ask what happens if no sharks are seen on the day, since wildlife cannot be guaranteed. Check the weather and the sea state before you go, because the start time can change. Seasickness is common on a long boat ride, so take a remedy in advance if you need one. Many guests bring warm, dry layers and a towel for the return.
This tour operator in Bluff is a day out on the water for anyone who wants to see great white sharks from the cage.
