Shark Adventures: False Bay (Cape Town)

African Shark Eco Charters, founded by Chris Fallows and Rob Lawrence, was created to advance the understanding of sharks. Dyer Island, where most of South Africa's Specially designed shark viewing cagesgreat white shark research and viewing was concentrated, was becoming congested. This made controlled scientific work difficult, so Chris and Rob set out to find an alternative venue where they could escape commercialization and conduct their research.

During their search for a new dive site, they remembered the legend of Submarine, a notorious white shark in excess of 6 meters (20 feet), known to roam the waters of False Bay, located barely thirty minutes from Cape Town.

Dates: Offered any time of year. The best months to see great whites, however, are April through September.

Price: $325+ per day, depending on time of year and number of days
