Diving with Sharks - SV650.org

This was a birthday present from my wife and a long standing ambition (not an attempt to kill me off!)
One of the best days out I have ever had, will be one I will talk about for a while. I am now considering a cage dive with Great Whites in South Africa. Fun, fun, fun!
Me and one of the sharks prior to the dive... CHECK THOSE TEETH!

This was done at Ellesmere Port in Crewe and I would recommend it to anyone who fancies something different.

oooooooooooooooooh can you pm me the details? I so want to do that.

Im trying to wangle the South Africa trip next year so I can do exactly that - go down in a cage and see the great whites. I have a lifelong fascination with sharks - awesome creatures.

Did you know theres over 30 species of sharks in British waters.

Was indeed Blue Planet Aquarium in Ellesmere Port.

Stayed with a friend in Crewe prior to the dive. My Geography sucks!

Did you do the full day, or at least, the Most expensive dive?

It was pretty much a full day thing. Wandered round the aquarium for a couple of hours and then the training, safety lectures, actual dive was about 4-5 hours.

Great day out for the spectators too. I have some awesome video from the walkthrough tunnels.
