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. There are over 2,000 different species of fish in this area of the world and I am pretty sure we spotted a fair few of them. 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. I really had wanted to see more by this time and Great White just kept coming into my head. After getting back from yet another trip I put another idea out there, 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

When I was being lowered into the cage I will say that I was nervous and this because the Great White has always been high in my fears. I really cannot begin to describe what it was like that day. Next year sparks the ultimate thrill for shark lovers, we are going to be doing it without cages!

Something that many people have not heard of when it comes to these creatures is just how timid most of them are, some have even allowed people to touch them and even hold the dorsal fin!
