The Diving

The way our Tiger Shark Scuba Diving is done is as follows. We meet eachother in the morning and start with a special Tiger Shark Dive Briefing and explanation of code of conduct. We then drive out to Protea Banks, drop the bait in the water at about 6m/18ft depth and wait until the chum slick has dissipated and a tiger or bull shark has picked up the scent. This can take anytime up to 45 minutes where we regularly check the bucket in order to see if a shark has arrived.

As soon as the shark is circling the bucket, the divers enter the water as quietly as possible and swim slowly towards the bait bucket. Scuba divers as well as bucket will be drifting with the current as the sharks swim round and round and right in between the divers. After approximately one hour we will call time out and return to base.

Please carefully read our protocol section for detailed information about things to keep in mind, recommendations, procedures and code of conduct.
