 White Shark Adventures’ top priority is to raise awareness, helping to change people’s attitude towards these animals and strengthen the cause of protection and preservation of White sharks through detailed information and education. White sharks are on the verge of facing extinction in certain areas. Although raising awareness through campaigns and other media orientated approaches is an important tool, it cannot match the on-sight education value while watching and observing the White shark in their natural surroundings Email: paul@unrealdives.com |

African Shark Eco Charters is the original Great White Shark operation in False Bay made famous by our discovery and documentation of breaching great white sharks at Seal Island. Seal Island is the filming location of the Discovery Channel documentary "Air Jaws" and several other BBC and National Geographic productions.
The area is as pristine as the first day we discovered it and we are proud to offer trips that are based almost entirely on natural observation. Apex Shark Expeditions is run and operated by Chris & Monique Fallows. Chris has been working with white sharks since 1992. In the beginning he worked at Gansbaai for 4 years and has visited or worked at every other white shark site in the world. After all this they chose to work at Seal Island, False bay.The reason for this was not only could you cage dive but there is unparalelled surface viewing for natural predatory behaviour, as seen in over 40 documentaries including Air Jaws 1 & 2, all in an uncrowded environment. Apex was the first white shark company to offer trips where no chum is used.
Apex Shark expeditions offers small ( max 6 people) personalised tours on 5 hr trips to make sure you have an intimate experience. Apex Shark Expeditions runs from Simonstown , which is only 35 minutes from Cape Town and 2 minutes from Boulders penguin colony. |
