Unpredictable Shark Cage Diving

The main issue with the current autumn weather conditions is it makes planning shark cage diving extremely difficult. For instance, this week so far has yielded a perfect summers day, fog, an overcast day that varied from hot to cold to hot again, and an average overcast day. Autumn and spring are difficult seasons, worse than winter since in winter you expect rain with relative frequency.

Last year, during the month of September, White Shark Projects spent more days off sea than they did on. The weather not only prevents our guests of the Roundhouse Guesthouse from going out on a specific day, but makes it difficult to actually say when they can. Over Easter weekend, clients came to Gansbaai specifically to do shark cage diving, and they had to leave disappointed as three days of the four day weekend was completely unsuited for cage diving.

Winter is going to be a welcome change, since we actually expect rough seas and rain when a cold front comes through.
