7Shark Alley, Gansbaai, South Africa
Shark Alley, located off the coast of Gansbaai, South Africa, is world-famous for its high concentration of great white sharks. This narrow channel between Dyer Island and Geyser Rock is home to one of the largest populations of great white sharks in the world, making it a popular destination for cage diving.
While cage diving here offers a unique opportunity to observe these apex predators up close, it also comes with inherent risks. The unpredictable nature of great white sharks, combined with strong ocean currents, makes Shark Alley a dangerous place to dive, even within the relative safety of a cage. The presence of powerful and potentially aggressive animals means divers must exercise extreme caution and always follow safety protocols.
