** Day 5 **** Cape Town ****, **** South Africa ** // Overnight: //// Cape Town //
 * Saturday June 6th, 2009 **
 * Discover Shark Alley! Approximately 12km offshore from Gansbaai (2hrs drive from CapeTown) there are two islands situated next to each other and due to a number of geographical reasons - one being the shallow and narrow channel that runs between these two islands - it has become known as one of only two unique areas in the world, where the chances to view the great white shark, rises exceptionally high and earned the nickname of “Shark Alley”. Other wildlife species such as Cape Fur Seals, Cape  Gannets , Cape  Cormorants , Jackass penguins, whales and dolphins are also likely to be sighted.
 * Board your groups charter boat and venture out into the water for the day! Observation of your subjects as well as the other wildlife that makes this area home is easy from the decks of your small sea vessel.
 * Spend the day with researchers who teach you about this often misunderstood creature, as they walk you through their research and conservation efforts, as well as give you the opportunity to participate and gather data.
 * Come face to face with your subject! The Great White Shark is one of the most feared predators and coming up close and personal with them is an awesome experience. The cage floats partially above and below the water surface where you can dive a few feet down either via snorkel techniques or with an air supply and look eye to eye with this amazing creature
