For many, seeing footage of a great white is enough to up the pulse rate. But get in the water with the ocean’s most intimidating predator, and that’s when the adrenaline floodgates truly open wide. There are only four places in the world where you can reliably get into the cage to dive with great white sharks; each delivers a very different experience.

Mark your calendar and book cage space for what is perhaps the underwater world’s biggest rush.
