Special Expeditions - Exclusive Expeditions for 2012 & 2013
Why a specialty expedition when we still run our existing trips?
Each expedition is focused on a particular species and is hosted by experts in that species behaviour and ecology.
The group size for each expedition has been limited to a maximum of anywhere from 8 - 12 participants only (all other great white shark operators take between 12 - 45 guests per boat). Limited numbers of guests on board ensures the best viewing potential, an un-crowded and intimate environment, maximum cage dive time and exceptional photographic opportunities.
Dates for each expedition have been specifically chosen as the very best period in the year to experience the specialty on offer.

The Seven Gill Cow shark, or Spotted Cow shark, is a prehistoric apex predator and the king of the kelp forest. This dive site is one of the few places in the world where you have a great chance of diving with this rarely seen shark (an 85% success rate).

A variety of small endemic cat shark species (brown shy shark, puff adder shy shark, striped cat shark and leopard cat shark) and spotted gulley sharks may also be encountered.

Whale Trips
WITNESS THE MYSTERIES OF THE GREAT WHALES UP CLOSE ON A WHALE WATCHING TRIP
At the southern tip of Africa, where two of the world's greatest oceans converge, a total experience of land, sea and the rainbow culture of the Western Cape offer you the most exciting land based whale watching venues in the world!
Each year Southern Right whales migrate into the coastal waters of the Western Cape to calve and nurse their young. The animals, often mere metres from the shore, provide unsurpassed whale watching opportunities between June and November. At this time people descend on False Bay for whale watching trips. Humpbacks migrate through the region between May and December each year, while Bryde's whales are found slightly further offshore all year round. Shore based whale watching trips provide a steady stream of tourists to False Bay towns during the off season.
