April 3
We woke up at 4 am and got ready to go to Simon's Town to go shark cage diving! On the boat ride out to Seal Island, we saw hundreds of dolphin's jumping in the waves. It was actually one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Then we got to Seal Island where we would put the cage in. Seal Island is just what it sounds like, literally thousands of seals just everywhere.
Me, Isabel and my Aunt Sameena were the first brave ones to get into the cage. Getting the wet suit on was the most difficult, stressful part of the whole situation and it took a good 15 minutes to get that thing on. The water was absolutely freezing. We were in the cage for about 45 minutes and really only saw 2 sharks, 1 was pretty far away too. As soon as we got out, my brother and dad got in and of course, there was 3-4 shark sightings in 20 minutes. We still got to see the sharks jump out to bite the penguin board that they threw out into the water as bait so that was still cool.
We grabbed some lunch on Long Street, stopped at Green Market Square again then went back to our house. A couple of us went back out to see the Penguin Colony that was right down the street from our house!
