How does White Shark Cage Diving work?

The process for White Shark Cage Diving is designed for safety and maximum viewing. Typically, you board a specialized vessel that takes you to prime shark viewing locations. Subsequently, a sturdy cage is lowered into the water. You will then enter the cage, often with a guide. Chum is used to attract sharks. They then swim near the cage, allowing for incredible observation opportunities. It is a carefully managed and exhilarating experience.
