Great White Shark Tours is a licensed shark cage diving operator. We are not an Agent and bookings are made directly through us.
There are only eight operators who have exemptions to undertake Great White Shark Cage Diving in order to attract GREAT WHITE SHARKS issued by the Republic of South Africa's Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism of which BRIAN McFARLANE is one.
In addition we are accredited members of the GREAT WHITE SHARK PROTECTION FOUNDATION.
Brian McFarlane is a professional diver and skipper and has made a living from the sea his whole life. He started diving for perlemoen at a young age, then moved on to become a commercial fisherman for 6 years and spent another 6 years diving in search of wrecks along the southern coast of Africa. This was followed by the diving for diamonds from the sea bed for the next 20 years.
He has become a local legend with his fascinating tales about the sea and underwater experiences.During the time when Great White Shark fishing was allowed, Brian caught 33 Great Whites, some weighing more than 1 ton. Today, he dearly regrets this and now spends his time and efforts in finding the great beasts to be observed and photographed at close range. Brian has worked with the Great whites for 10 years, and has only had 1 non-sighting day in the last 3 years.
The waters around Shark Alley are his territory, and he knows them well. With his son, Bryan Jr., who is second skipper, a dive master and registered guide, you will have an unforgettable experience and be in safe hands. The operators are trained in CPR Management and have a media flow chart on board in case of an emergency. Brian has a brand new (2007) hi-tech Catamaran, comfortable and perfect for Great White Cage Diving and Surface Viewing! To see the new boat, go to the Gallery page.
