The Trip

Enter the world of the world of Jurassic sharks when encountering one of the worlds most unique and primitive shark species – the broadnose sevengill shark, Notorynchus cepedianus. Famed for its cooperative hunting techniques and unique anatomy, the sevengill is one of the most memorable sharks you will ever encounter. While on the dive, also keeps your eyes open for benthic and spotted gully sharks hiding amongst the kelp!

Itinerary

Guests arrive at the Simon’s Town pier at the scheduled time where you will be greeted by the crew of the vessel. All the equipment will be sorted on the pier then loaded onto the vessel. Once everything is stowed the boat will set off for Millers Point. Once arrived, you will suit up and embark on your first dive. Once you complete the first dive the group will return to the boat for some refreshments. After a short break the group will prepare for the second dive. Both dives will be guided by a dive master through the kelp forest. After the second dive the boat will pull anchor and head back to the harbor. Expect the entire trip to last roughly 4 hours.
