Great White Sharks and Whales in South Africa

Shark cage diving is a popular activity in South Africa and while Sharks are among the most feared animals on the planet, it is actually sharks who need to fear humans, as humans slaughter 100 million sharks per year.

The Southern Right Whale comes into the Bay of Hermanus for breeding and can be seen between July and December. It is the larges of the whales and you may see, touch and hear these magnificent creatures in on a whale watching tour.

Sharks are beautiful until your ass is shipwrecked and floating in the middle of the ocean with just a life jacket on.You got all the time in the world then to look at the wonderful sharks then.

[tomtravelman]

that's a ridiculous argument, by that rational a landscape is beautiful until your car breaks down in the wilderness and you run out of water and food or a mountain is beautiful until you break your leg and the sun sets...etc etc...the point is that rather than fearing sharks and slaughtering millions of them we should respect them and appreciate their significance to the ecosystem.

ur making a very good point! but sharks are still a little scary!

[tomtravelman]

Yes very true, I would even say they are more than a little scary, that's why we were in cages. But I'm sure you agree that we shouldn't just kill everything that scares us.

Hey I've been stuck in the Amazon for 2 weeks before and I didn't start hating snakes and jaguars just because they might be a threat to me I still thought they were beautiful. They were there before me after all.

Even though it's a bit dated, I love this video. Great Whites and other sharks are a valuable asset to South Africa.  They certainly help the tourist industry. I'm saving up to go myself! I want to get right inside one of those cages and feel how cold the water is. I want to be in the cage while he's biting at it, because I could check him out better while he's close. I want to touch his sand paper like skin. I want to see one swimming straight at me while I'm protected by the cage! Yes!
