Cage Diving with Great Whites in South Australia
In South Australia, we went on another cave diving excursion, and it was a totally different experience. Sharks are lured into the water in South Africa using fish guts (boats go to the sharks' regular feeding grounds to avoid upsetting the food chain), but in Australia, they are drawn in by sound. We played air guitar while waiting for the sharks to approach while the music blared from the boat!
