Sharks Galore - Really cool experience. Staff was wonderful. Did not realize it was a 2 1/2 hour drive from Cape Town. Need to read the fine print I guess!

Highly recommend - Cage diving was a bucket list activity for us, but doing it ethically was very important. Marine Dynamics is exactly that. Our guide Suzie was so knowledgeable and kind. You can tell she truly loved and cared for sharks. All of the crew was very professional as well. Our driver also stopped to point out whales and baboons which was an added bonus. They included a breakfast and lunch which was a great bonus. Be warned, if you get picked up from Cape Town it’s a very long day as you are stopping to pick up others plus it’s a 2 hour drive to the dive house. We were gone for about 11 hours total, but worth it. We saw 10 different bronze whaler sharks and seals while diving.

Amazing experience - Amazing experience! Our guide, Suzie & team were knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We were even treated with a visit from a stingray. I highly recommend Marine Dynamics

Great experience at sea - Great team and top organization! We did not see great whites but the experiment was very successful despite this. Dinner was offered while waiting to sail. It was very appreciated.

Great to see nature up close - Despite the very early start and long drive it was a fantastic day. We were open minded about what we would see but we were not disappointed. We saw several bronze whalers, a sevengill, a couple of stingray and a very playful cape seal. As the sea is very murky it was quite difficult to see them below the surface but you had a great view of them swimming past the cage while your head was above water. It was amazing to get so close to them. The crew looked after us all day. We had a nice breakfast before we sailed and snacks, hot drinks on the boat with soup back at centre.

Fun & Safe - The clear view of the sharks, the fun ride out to the cage and the kind professional crew. We were well informed and kept warm after being in the cage.

Great Operation - Their who operation what awesome, they went the extra mile to make sure people were taken care of and had a good time and the tour includes lots of little extras that really made it great, like a hot shower after you get out of the water, snacks before, after, and during the tour, they offered blankets and hot water bottles if people were cold, and for people like me that ended up seasick for part of it, they were very attentive and tried their best to make me comfortable given the situation.

Horrible experience - When we arrived they were really accommodating and polite, there was free breakfast which was delicious, the safety briefing was quick and informative. Up until this point i had no complaints HOWEVER, instead or cancelling the boat or letting us know that the water was extremely rough today, they decided to still take us out without warning. The water was so rough it made myself so sick. This was the absolute worst experience of my whole life. I kept asking to get off the boat- i offered them $5000CAD to get off. I asked if another boat or helicopter or anything could come they said no. I was also not the only one that was sick- i believe there were 27 of us on board and only 7 people didn’t get sick. The volunteers were polite and asked if we needed anything multiple times and kept taking our barf bags and discarding them (koodos to them, what a job). I would have been less mad if they just took my money and said no boat today. This has completely ruined my experience on boats and i am pretty confident due to this experience i will never be getting on another small boat for an activity again. If you are going to take this tour and dont have an extremely strong stomach PLEASE ask them how the water is prior to boarding and save yourself- its not worth it.
