Five miles off the southernmost tip of South Africa is known as Shark Alley for a reason: The waters are rich with seals, penguins, and other prey for Great White sharks. For fearless shark lovers, this is the place to go cage diving — which brings you as close as you can get to the epic predator. For the faint of heart, the great white sharks can also be seen from the boat.
