8 km off the Whale Coast is Dyer Island and the rocky outcrop of Geyser Rock, both proclaimed

Nearby Geyser Rock is home to a Cape Fur Seal colony of more than 50 000 (pretty smelly) seals. 

The two small islands are separated by "Shark Alley", so called because of the many Great White 

Sharks who frequent it. A Great White Shark's favourite snack is Cape Fur Seal. 

Although you can't land on either protected island, boat trips to Dyer Island will give you the opportunity to see the seals, penguins and other seabirds in their natural habitat ,Dolphins, Great White Sharks and whales in season are also often spotted on these trips.

Get up close and personal with the most feared predator of the ocean, the Great White Shark. Provided with a wetsuit and mask you are lowered into a steel cage that protects you as you hold your breath and submerge yourself in shark-infested waters. Under the water you may get to appreciate the beauty and grace of these creatures that are so perfectly adapted to their environment - as well as marvel at the size of their teeth! The most unpleasant part of the excursion is the seasickness many people suffer - to really enjoy great white shark cage diving, we recommend you pack some motion-sickness pills.
