We had the absolute pleasure of going shark cage diving with Marine Dynamics on 28th August, and it was a truly unforgettable experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived at their venue, the staff made us feel welcomed, well looked after, and reassured about the adventure ahead. The team on land were just as professional and friendly as those on the boat, and everything was so well organised that we felt confident throughout. Before heading out, we were offered a light breakfast, which was a nice touch and set the tone for the morning. Once on the boat, the experience really came to life. The crew not only ensured our safety but also took the time to share their knowledge and passion for the marine life we encountered. They explained the different sharks we saw in great detail, as well as pointing out other wildlife in the area, which added so much value to the trip. It wasn't just about the thrill of seeing sharks up close -- it was also educational and gave us a deeper appreciation of these incredible animals. While on board, there were snacks and drinks provided, including hot chocolate, which was very welcome after coming out of the cold water (though it could have done with a little more stirring!). The boat itself was comfortable, with toilets available, although it's worth noting there was no running water or soap to wash hands. Towels were thoughtfully provided after the dive, which made things much easier when coming out of the cage. After returning to shore, we were treated to a light lunch, which was a perfect way to round off the morning and gave us a chance to chat through what we had just experienced. It really did feel like the whole team went the extra mile to make it special, and their enthusiasm was infectious. For both of us, this was one of the highlights of our trip -- not just because of the adrenaline rush of seeing sharks in their natural habitat, but also because of the way Marine Dynamics delivered the entire experience. Their professionalism, friendliness, and genuine care for the guests and the wildlife made all the difference. If you're considering shark cage diving in South Africa, I couldn't recommend Marine Dynamics enough. It's an adventure that combines excitement, learning, and care for the ocean, and one we'll remember forever.

Great, couldn't have asked for more. Loved it from start to finish. Well-organised, well-informed crew, who were happy to help with just about anything. The idea of shark cage diving sounded scary at first, but once I learned a bit more about how the tour works - and how the sharks behaved - I felt fine and it was genuinely fascinating to watch these predators take very little interest in us humans and plenty of interest in the bait/chum. The stingrays were impressive too. Do it, you won't regret it. Just make sure to get a cover for your camera so you can film underwater (you'll be less than 0.5m underwater, but it'd be a shame if you couldn't take photos to remember the experience by) The crew also provides footage of their own from your dive so that's a bonus. Loved it, thanks!

Despite the turbulent sea and being seasick we did have a great time. You run a very informative, well organised business.
