Shark Cage Diving
Feb 20th
The thought of shark cage diving is extremely thrilling so not exactly for the faint hearted.
We decided to take one Sunday and put it aside to join the Extreme Scene team on the Big Blue.
The build up to this day was something on its own! When we arrived in Gaansbaai we were welcomed by the crew, registered and then sat down for lunch. The briefing started shortly after, the crew were very helpful and made
us feel comfortable; they also explain what amazing predators Sharks are and how desperately the
ocean needs these creatures. The briefing was very interesting and once they were done we pretty
much couldnt wait to swim with the fish.
We finally headed out towards the boat, and once we got about 5 miles out at sea we dropped
anchor. Just when you think your adrenalin had disappeared, they handed out wetsuits and we
started suiting up!
The way it works is; we are separated into groups of 7 to go into the cage at once, each group stays
in the cage for roughly 20-30 minutes depending on how much shark activity there is they then
alternate. The way they lure the sharks are by using a technique called “chumming”. The chum line
(fish extracts) is layer which surrounds the boat at all times during your dive. The Chum line will
not affect your visibility it is literally used to attract the sharks toward the boat. On the one side of
the cage is a lure of fish heads attached to a line and on the other side is a wooden seal dummy.
The crew then try and attract the sharks using these methods, once they spot a Great White Shark
on either side they instructed us to go under water and look either right or left. This we extremely
nerve racking!! I was not 100% sure of what I was about to see. On this specific day the visibility
was not that great so we were very lucky to see 4 Great White Sharks.
These are such amazing creatures and I highly recommended this experience, it is truly great that we
are able to visit these predators in the natural environment.

5 for Change
Jan 19th
CHANGE (v) the act or instance of making or becoming different.
Five for Change is an annual black tie fundraiser dedicated to raising awareness about five inspiring social enterprises which are changing the way Cape Town gives back.
This project identifies the active members of society, the movers, the shakers, and the statement makers, to add social investment onto their busy ‘to do’ lists. The aim is to canvass professionals in corporate roles and entrepreneurs, whose fast paced, time constrained lifestyles do not always leave space for them to be exposed to platforms from which they can begin to ‘give back.’ Whilst climbing the ladder of their careers, social engagement and networking plays a key role in getting to the top. 5 for Change meets these individuals ‘where they are at’ by hosting a chic, high profile party that will become an annual fixture on the Cape Town social calendar.
The 5 selected charities involved in the inaugural 2012 campaign are: Let There be Light, Greenpop, MyLife, African Brothers Football Academy and Write on Africa. For more information on these amazing organisations check out:
Let There Be Light: www.nixsdavies.com
