How do Great White Shark Cage Tours work?

Typically, a Great White Shark Cage Tour begins with a boat trip to known shark aggregation sites. Upon arrival, a baited cage is lowered into the water. Divers enter the cage, providing a safe viewing platform. For example, chum is used to attract sharks. Sharks are curious by nature and often approach the cage. Furthermore, the experience is guided by seasoned professionals who understand shark behavior. Thus, you can feel secure throughout the entire dive.
