I actually approached several of my mates with the idea of going diving and they all thought it was a great idea and surprisingly none of them had ever done it. So off we went on one of those scuba diving holidays and I have to say that it was absoulty fantastic.

The Destination

We actually went Maldives diving as we thought this to be a great way to start our diving experiences and boy were we right. There are many different types of species of fish in this small area of the world, in fact 2,000, I am certain we spotted a fair number of them. We also spotted a couple of whale sharks and this is what got me into the whole shark diving mindset.

On Return

When arriving back home I found myself immediately wanting to go back and enjoy all of it again which is why we did 6 months later and then again a year later. By this time I had wanted to see more and the words “Great White” has kept entering my mind. So the next idea that I put foward to the usual suspects was of course, why not try cage diving with great whites?There were of course some of the group of friends that thought I was insane.

The Great White

However when we were finally underwater and the shark approached I was amazed, it looked simply stunning. I cannot describe the experience we had that day. Since then we have returned a couple of times and next year we are hoping to do it without cages!

Many of these sharks have been touched by people and there have even been reports of some of them allowing humans to hold the dorsal fin for a short while!
