Shark Diving in South Africa and more specifically a trip on the Slashfin boat, is a combination of goosebump thrills, education and relaxation onboard a luxury boat led by experienced experts and researchers. They will show you how to distinguish between a male and female shark and how to identify a specific shark by its unique dorsal fin and scars. Named after a legendary 3,3 m male shark with a very distinctive dorsal fin, the Slashfin is a unique, top of the range aluminum boat custom designed for speed, stability, safety and space and can comfortably accommodate 40 passengers.

We will only know the Cape Town departure time the day before the dive. This is because the dive time is decided by OCEAN SWELLS. Once the dive time is communicated with us we then set the departure time. Typically this is between 5:30AM and 7:30AM but we have left as early as 4AM and as late as 10AM. We advise that you DO NOT book any additonal activities on this day and remain flexible.
