Review of Marine dynamics

We were in Gaansbaai in mid-December.

We were in Gaansbaai in mid-December.
Seeing the big white was high on our bucket list.
Before arrival, we sent several inquiries to other Shark Cage Dive operators, we were told via email Klip and Klar that the probability of meeting Great White Sharks in the season is extremely minimal.
Unfortunately the accommodation was no longer cancellable so we ended up near Gaansbaai.
On site we explained the situation to our host and he kindly phoned again.
However, Marine Dynamics gave us hope by telephone, saying that several sightings had been made in the past few days.
Happy as ever, we booked the trip for 4 people.
When we booked the breakfast (acceptable) on site, we were brought back to reality (no whites for the past 3 weeks). Request for discounts has been dismissed.
The tour started, we were brought to a spot about 10 minutes from the jetty, where tens of other boats were already attracting sharks.
One after the other we were allowed in the cage without an oxygen hose for about 15-20 minutes (packed with 8 people) and that's it.
After everyone was through, it went back, no other spot, no great white shark (a few smaller ones and a ray)
All in one as already mentioned by other reviews ,, Customs clearance ,, ...
Which I would be happy with ... If it weren't for the price of 150 per person and dishonesty.
For this performance it is completely and mercilessly overpriced and therefore only max 2 stars, sorry

PS: Videos were made by the boat staff as a bonus (wrong thought).
Another 15 per person if desired
