Grant had his first shark cage dive 7 years ago and was hooked and exchanged his pressured life as a paramedic for one with the Great Whites.  Grant believes that the only way to save these amazing creatures is through creating awareness."The most awesome shark experience I’ve had to date has to be when I had a shark breach nine times clear out of the water to get the bait!!  It’s really rare for them to exert themselves like that when around the boat.  The speed, agility and grace of these animals is truly breathtaking."

Mandla came to White Shark Projects quite by chance. To the benefit of the whole team - and all our clients - he has found his niche working on the boat and with the sharks. Now he is a well-qualified shark handler and Dive Master. Mandla's passion lies with conservation. He runs an educational programme with children from the local schools, creating an awareness of marine Life, and the need to conserve and respect it. 

Adrian is our in-house Marine Biologist, and while doing various observations and implementing non-invasive research methods, he shares his knowledge with our clients. “My best experiences on Shark Team are when a shark comes to the side of the boat and just hangs there with it’s head out of the water and just checks you out!  There really is something amazing about looking a great white in the eye and knowing that you are being checked out at the same time!  Their eyes are a magnificent magenta-blue and when you see them in the right light - well, it’s stunning!" says Adrian.
