Great day out with the kids - What an unforgettable girls’ day out with our 3-year-old daughters, cage diving with Marine Dynamics! The staff were so friendly and made sure we felt safe and comfortable every step of the way, which made all the difference with little ones in tow. We were lucky enough to see 12 sharks, a ray, and even a seal—the excitement on the girls’ faces was priceless! A huge thank you to Wilfred for the adorable penguin teddies the girls got to take home—they’ve been carrying them everywhere since. It was such a special experience, and I can’t recommend it enough for families. A day we’ll be talking about for years to come!

Experience of a lifetime! - Amazing experience! Driver was nice and on time, crew for the shark diving was super nice and really helpful and kind when we started getting sea sick. No matter the sea sickness, we had a blast and are happy to have seen sharks so close!

Amazing experience - so many sharks! - Even though we did not have great weather or visibility in the water, we still had a great time. Even when you cant see the sharks well underwater, you can easily see them from the upper deck while watching the other groups. Other reviews have complained about no great whites or bad weather, BUT if you do your research you know going into this tour that great whites are NOT often sighted in South Africa anymore. This is also not something that the staff can control, nor can they control the weather. We did still go out on the water even though it was very choppy and there was high likely hood of us getting sea sick. Staff was happy and knowledgable and they also took photos of the sharks that turned out better than any pictures I had taken.

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.

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.

Provide honest information on what you will see - Marine Dynamics should be very clear you are very unlikely to see great whites. Two spotted in last 3 months. We didn’t even go the shark alley as listed. We were all packed in like sardines for dips in the cage for 20-25 mins in 10s, to see bronze whalers. Like a conveyor belt. No real marine biology explained only plugged sales at lunch (post dip) when 50% people already left. Considering profits from 35-40 people per dive (3 a day)… ‘poor show’ all round.
