Is the tide turning against baited cage diving? In among the murky waters of this debate, there might just be an ethical alternative
Great white sharks can have up to 350 serrated teeth in their mouths at any one time: 50 working teeth on display and then some six further rows in waiting, poised to move into position should a front tooth come loose.
Matt Waller, owner of Adventure Bay Charters, shows me a close-up photo of a great white’s gaping jaws: it’s completely toothless. “Considering sharks constantly regrow lost teeth, this shows how much damage cages are doing,” he says.
In South Australia’s Port Lincoln, and Gansbaai in South Africa, thrill-seekers clamour to go out to sea with tour operators who bait the water with blood and fish guts, known as ‘chum’, then put their guests in underwater cages (for a fee of around £150-250 a head) and wait for great whites to attack.
