You then enter the cage, often accompanied by experienced dive masters. They guide you through the encounter. Subsequently, bait is used to attract sharks to the cage. This allows for incredible viewing opportunities. The entire experience is carefully managed for maximum safety and minimal disturbance to the marine life.
