Well this review is not about the shark dive because it never happened. I had reserved a date to go but the day before they called and had not been seeing great activity lately. They left it up to us if we wanted to cancel at no charge. That is just great customer service in my mind these days of...

OK, this has been the greatest and coolest thing I have done in South Africa. And somewhere up there with the coolest things in my life. Capt Rob and the crew, Brandon, Ally, Willie, Gary (the guy in the afternoon, hope I got his name right) and you are second to none. I am experienced around boats, fishing, diving, and...

Thanks for your post. The crew are very grateful for your reply as they all try so hard to give their "all" on each trip and its very warming to hear good feedback.
We hope you will join us again for another adventure at Seal Island.

My wife and I were in Cape Town for our 10th anniversary and decided to go shark cage diving. We researched several companies and settled on ASEC because of the small number of passengers on the boat and the fact that they use SCUBA. The experience was incredible, one that neither of us will ever forget. The seas were choppy...

We are glad you had a great trip with us in False Bay and we agree that scuba diving is the best way to experience the sharks in the shark cage

Can't compliment the service and hospitality of these guys. My son (age 10) and myself went out with 4 other guests and had a fantastic morning of dolphin, seal spotting and of course, shark cage diving. The team really made us feel welcome and treated my so if he was their only client of the day! The whole team on...

Thank you for your compliment, and thanks for joining us. Your son was a pleasure to chat to-very enthusiastic about the sharks!
The use of scuba ( airline) is important feature for us over snorkelling, as you correctly say, when the sea its choppy you sure dont want to be having water coming into your snorkel and spoiling your dive....

I must have fished through all the websites offering this experience from Cape Town, tried reading the small print as to whether it was breath hold or off a diving air and regulator...cross referred with this site for comments, and basically hit the motherload with Rob and his team. Awesome. They provide suits and regs for the cage...[the problem with...

This has got to be the most amazing experience of our lives. A pretty early start...getting on the boat whilst it's still dark...but well worth it. Arrive at Seal Island as the sun rises and you then get to see these amazing creatures in action. In total we saw 4 Great White Shark breaches. When it was time to go...

We went with ASEC over APEX b/c of all the positive reviews we read online; unfortunately this turned out to be the wrong decision. ASEC was wonderful with getting our shark trip scheduled, however they did not tell us the most important facts. First of all, if you are going to try and see sharks out of Simons Town you...

Wow, what an unnecessary,unrealistic and out of place review! To all guests thinking about joining us, please review comments from guests that have ACTUALLY done an entire trip with us.
Now let’s be fair here, if you went on an entire trip with us, and we were unfriendly, gave you shark education or insight then yes, by all means judge...
