Cage Diving Natal

Situated Only forty minutes away from Durban International Airport and five minutes from Scottburgh on South Africa's KwaZulu Natal South Coast - Cage Diving Natal is here. We've got it! No dirt roads! No need to pass through border posts! "Rocky Bay" is the safest scuba dive launch site on the Natal South Coast.

Landers Dive Centre is based in Rocky Bay and specialises in "soft" cage shark diving, shark diving trips, shark viewing, coral reef diving, and diving The Aliwal Shoal In South Africa.

We view our specialty - the "soft" cage diving experience - as a vital way to connect people with healthy shark populations. The activity is intended to increase the level of focus, awareness and compassion the public have for sharks.

A typical "soft" shark cage dive involves getting into a wetsuit, donning a mask and snorkel and climbing into a floating soft cage with between 5 and 30 sharks gliding gracefully by, the cage walls. Due to the fact that there are mainly Blacktip sharks around these reefs, you are indeed allowed to get out of your cage and interact with these amazing, serene creatures. There has never been a recorded attack on a human by this species of shark.

Soft Cage Diving: Shark cage diving typically involves diving in heavy metal cages in the cold waters of the Western Cape, specifically targeting the large Great White sharks that inhabit that region.

However in the much warmer waters of Kwa-Zulu Natal, different species of shark can be found, like Tiger Sharks and Blacktip Sharks. Because these species are smaller than the Great White Shark and their main diet consists of small schooling fish, a much lighter "soft" shark cage can be used. There is even the option of getting out of the shark cage for a true shark interactive and unforgettable cage shark diving experience.

This is truly an exciting once in a lifetime experience - bond with family, friends or colleagues as you get close up to one of South Africa's big marine predators.
