As far as I know there have not been many incidents with sharks off of the S. Africa coast while going out on trips with guides. One or 2 bites from excited sharks in feeding frenzies during the sardine runs but nothing from diving with Raggies or Tigers there. And they use a cage for the great whites.

Have had friends go out there and have had a great time. I have been invited on trips a few times but always have had something else planned and have not been able to get away.

I have been circled a bunch of times but usually if I swim at them they swim away a little bit. Had a friend of mine get chased by a 5' silvertip at the Cocos Islands. Saw the video with the shark chasing him all the way to the surface. He was filming some large pregnant female silvertips at a cleaning station and this male who was interested in the females went after him and circled him for all of his 50' ascent. He was using a closed circuit rebreather and was one of the first people to ever dive that site so maybe the small male did not know what he was as there were no bubbles and James is a big guy, 6'4" and 240 Lbs.

In Rangiroa in French Polynesia they are filming tiger sharks eating grey reef sharks at sunrise and no problems there.
