Our research initiative at Volunteer White Shark Diving Company offers an experience in a location unlike any other in the world, Gansbaai, the Great White Capital of the World.
Volunteering at White Shark Diving Company offers an incredible opportunity to be involved in groundbreaking marine research exploring white shark behaviour, elasmobranch diversity, ocean conservation, and projects involving an array of other South African marine wildlife.
During your stay with us you will play a vital role in data collection, learn how to manage such data, and gain valuable skills in marine research in the field with the employment of a number of different research techniques. There will also be ample chances to enter the cage, giving you the opportunity to come face to face with the magnificent great white shark in an unforgettable diving experience.
White Shark Diving Company is a fully licensed cage-diving tour operator. Our mission is to promote the conservation of sharks and the environment through eco-tourism and conservation research projects.
Our volunteer research programme takes a holistic approach towards conservation by exploring the diversity, abundance, and habitat use of a number of other shark, fish and marine species. Our aim is to detect changes and identify anthropogenic impacts through monitoring changes in populations.
