Finally here is the final poster of the 2-9 August 2024 Great White Shark Expedition with Shark Biology Course in South Africa!
This expedition has a brand new itinerary that includes the new great white shark cage diving site of Bird Island in Algoa Bay, Port Elizabeth! We’ll also cage dive in False Bay, Cape Town, with bronze whaler or copper shark and broadnose sevengill sharks.
Please note that only for this particular expedition, domestic flights (Cape Town to Port Elizabeth return) are included in the cost of the expedition.
The expedition cost is ZAR 88000, which with today’s exchange rate, is USD 4700 or EUR 4340 or GBP 3710. There are 9 spots left to join us.
