shark diving

Underwater predator tourism

Shark diving is the recreational activity of observing sharks underwater, typically from a protective cage or while free-diving with less dangerous species.

It's a form of wildlife tourism popular in areas with reliable shark populations: We went shark diving off the coast of South Africa.

The cage variety offers close encounters with great whites and other apex predators while minimizing risk.
