Default Would you ever do a great white shark cage dive?

I'm going to enquire about one when I'm down in Invercargill at Christmas. I probably won't be able to do one at that time, but I'm going to look into doing one in the next couple of months.

More people are killed by a falling coconut than by great whites though.

Had two shark attacks here this year. I would say putting yourself in a cage *for* the shark is you being the bait. There are other ways to get thrills...like jumping from a high height from a bungy. Try something else.

That being said, if you ever have the desire for thrilling scuba diving and are near the Andaman Islands, I have a good friend who owns a diving school(for beginners or experts) who can teach you the ropes. Bastard's motto is "Why didn't you just stab it with your dive knife?" in response to a diver coming within close perimeter of a Great White.

Good luck, Ben, but don't do it.

Because they are such fascinating creatures. Sure it'll be scary, but just to see them at close range would be amazing. I've heard some people do a great white shark dive without a cage.

Go for it. It looks amazing, and it's completely safe. Just to see the size, power, and grace of an animal like that, up close and personal, would be an experience of a lifetime.

You know sharks haven't really changed in millions of years, which may help him when dealing with Niamh and Ammi.

..coconuts can't eat you either Cherie..and so long as you don't sit under a coconut tree, you're probably reasonably safe...

No for me, that would be asking me to do too much. Good luck with it though if you go ahead.
