Its a caged dive, @gianluca1.
Sharks are not as scary as what hollywood movies makes them out to be.

whoa! hope u get them next time =D
BTW - great white activity does increase with lower light levels - i think ; makes them harder to spot in the dim light =D

Thanks, @Sachindra.
Had wanted to do the trip of it hunting the baby seals for the breaching shots, however, the trip was cancelled due to bad weather :(
I will go back to Cape Town next March, hopefully I get to do that breaching & hunting trip :D

Thanks, @Smith :)

@Gilma, we were in a cage and at times the Sharks came up close to bang on the cage, so that's like within inches away :)
For this shot, the Shark was around 1.5-2 metres away from me :D

How close were you from that beautiful...scary...great white shark?... : o
