When mentioning going diving with my friends a couple of years ago they jumped at the chance to do this as it is something that none of us had ever experienced. 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. The coral reefs and sand bars were simply astounding and we certainly spotted our fair share of the 2,000 species of fish that can be found in the area. 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?” Some of them thought I was mad and really didn’t want to it and others jumped at the chance.
The Great White
Once we were actually in and one of them approached the bait that was laid out the creature was stunning. The words to decribe that day have never really come into my head. Next year sparks the ultimate thrill for shark lovers, we are going to be doing it without cages!
Great Whites are not as bad as people think and they have been known to let people touch them and even hold their dorsal fin, always have a professional on hand though!
