Fly out 7/20 I can't go until 2026, but if you go then, hit me up. I've never been and having somebody who knows the process as well as you would be invaluable. https://web.archive.org/web/20170223065011/http:/www.rrdvegas.com/silencer-cleaning.html

A lot more affordable than most people think.

After hunting, we were driven back toJohannesburg and flew down to Capetown to do some touristing. A unique experience in how the other half of the world lives. When people found out we were from Texas, they got excited and asked a lot of questions. Went cage diving with great white sharks and saw a whale up close. When a big shark swims by the cage, it looks like a greyhound bus. One stopped and eyed us in the cage. Scared my wife. I have heard that whale sharks have moved into shark island and run the great whites off. Everybody ought to do it once. But, I know guys who do it annually.

Why would whale sharks run off great whites?

I have no idea whether the bigger guys can be chummed in. Also no idea whether it is safe to cage dive around them. Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.

Are you confusing whale sharks with orcas? I’d heard that killer whales were moving on great whites but I’m not sure which spot along the African coast that was happening. https://web.archive.org/web/20170223065011/http:/www.rrdvegas.com/silencer-cleaning.html

Orcas can and do kill and eat sharks, even Great White sharks. Orcas are the only known predators of Great Whites. I think there's some recent drone video of Orcas killing white sharks off the coast of S Africa. Whale Sharks won't hurt anybody or run anybody off.
