We believe that if all people could share the water with a shark in its natural habitat viewing their natural (relaxed) behaviour, we would undo everything Spielberg has done.Marine Dynamics not only is a 5-star luxury experience, from breakfast in the morning in our thatched roof lodge, lectures by marine biologists, service aboard our purpose-built cage-diving dream-machine Slashfin, but we also promote research/education/conservation of this area. Marine Dynamics supports the Dyer Island Conservation Trust! « less

Gansbaai is widely known as the Great White Shark Capital of the World - it has the planet's densest population of Great Whites and is internationally recognised as a centre of research as well as the home of cage diving. However, during my visits I have found that the bay offers much more - particularly from July to December when... More

I always wanted to go Shark cage diving and last week I finally did with the Marine Dynamics. After introductions during a nice small breakfast we all were ready for the sharks. Soon after we stopped out in the sea the first shark came. All people from the group were able to go into the cage twice for about 15... More

From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave you won't even notice what's going on outside raw nature. Smiles, environmental knowledge and true, real concern about the wellbeing of the endangered and missunderstood great white shark. Oh! And the cage diving experience awesome as well! ;) More

Working in the eco-tourism industry, I expect a high standard of service from an operator. The folks at Marine Dynamics fulfill their role as shark conservationists and naturalists. All questions about the negative impacts of shark chumming aside, the company does its very best to introduce clients to the sharks in their natural environment. The pre-trip talk and post-trip conservation... More

Really an amazing experience. There seem to be plenty of boats doing the same thing but it was quite easy to see that these guys had the biggest and most modern boat, very engaging guides and employees that take pride in their work. More

Amazing day! We saw 16 different sharks and for about a couple of hours, or maybe more, great whites were constantly swimming around the boat. Great views from in the boat and then close encounters in the cage! The sharks were more beautiful than I imagined them being. Marine Dynamics works to conserve these sharks through research projects and public... More

Out of all of the shark companies operating out of the bay I can assure you this is the top one! They not only provide you with this once in a lifetime experience, but these people are also passionate about these sharks and are actively helping to protect them and educate people on them. I HIGHLY recommend this company! We... More

It has been my dream for many years to cage dive with Great White sharks so for my 30th birthday I decided to go to South Africa in order to realise this dream. Marine Dynamics really ensured this experience was a trip of a lifetime. All of the team both on land and on the boat made sure that all... More
