Tourists often visit the coast of South Africa to see these sharks in their natural environment. Diver: “Whoa!” Narrator: But these days, the great whites are part of a large controversy. People are wondering if cage diving is turning the world’s largest predatory fish into a hunter of humans. Taryn Warner, Surfer: “There’s just started to be more and more attacks, more friends of ours, people that we actually knew.” Narrator: Is baiting the sharks conditioning these creatures to think of humans as food?

Dyer Island is located just off the coast of Gansbaai, and just off Dyer Island is a place called “Geyser Rock”, which is home to thousands of cape fur seals.
