On Friday, February 17th, (exactly 6 months until my 21st Birthday WHOOT WHOOT,) we went into Camps Bay, which is a beautiful beach, wealthy town. We went to a restaurant called The Bungalow; the whole restaurant is outside on a cliff that looks right at the ocean. All the tables are couches and there is even a pool. I had sushi and tried one of the specialty drinks. We all got dressed up and beforehand took pictures like it was prom, it was very cute. After dinner we went out for ice cream and tried to return home early because we needed to be up at 3:45am to go SHARK DIVING. At 4:15am the diving company picked us up and we drive 2hours to the #1 shark hotspot of the world. We were given breakfast and coffee (finally) and then brought to the boat. We were only 15minutes away from shore when we saw our first shark. We all suited up in wetsuits and 7 of us at a time were able to be in the cage. We saw SIX different great white sharks; they were literally inches away from our faces and one even jumped out of the water. After the dive we returned to shore around 9:30am, had an early breakfast and were driven back home. On the way home we saw baboons crossing the road, apparently it is equivalent to deer crossing the road at home, there are even signs saying “beware of baboons” on most the roads.
“Sharks are friends, not food.”
