    Swimming with Great White Sharks
    Hey guys,

    I tried posting this question a minute ago but it got lost somehow? But I've always wanted to swim (in a cage) with Great White Sharks.. It's my life long dream.

    Has anyone ever done it? How much is it? Can you do if in California? Or does anyone else have a desire to do this?

    You first question is here.
    I'd rather swim with the dolphins. I don't want to take my life under water.

    Here is some information for you :

    Expedition to the Farallon Islands, California (Farallones)

    You would have to depart from San Francisco and go to the Farallon Islands for your cage dive. You can either do a 1 day or 2 day expedition. Good luck! I have always wanted to dive with Great Whites too! :)

    I have always want to swim with Great White Sharks and I have been looking at information and I have found out that you can go to South Arfica to swim with them for 1,300R for the day but that's not with fights.

    My friends just dove in South Africa with the Great Whites and loved it. They e-mailed some pics and they were incredible - the sharks get right up close and personal.

    As far as California goes, there are only two companies I've read about in the last year. One goes to the Farrallon islands and one goes South of San Diego.

    The web sites are:

    San Diego - Great White Shark Diving - Shark Diver - Absolute Adventures

    The Farallons - Dive Discovery - Dive Travel Specialist

    Hope that helps
