Three things to know before you go cage diving with great white sharks. This article will focus on the safety precautions as well as what you can do to prevent any type of seasickness illness that may occur.
1. Light Breakfast
Eat a light breakfast as you will most likely be on the boat for 3 to 4 hours and will not have any other meals until you return to shore. Make sure that you’re careful with how much you eat or drink before getting on the boat so that when you do go into the water, your body is not fighting against you by making you sick.
2. Eardrums popping
If you have issues with your eardrums popping, try swallowing some chewing gum before getting on the boat; this will help equalize your ears and prevent any discomfort from happening while swimming with sharks.
3. Seasickness
If you have seasickness tablets, you can take them before getting on the boat. These tablets are available at most pharmacies and should be taken early, not later in the day. Wrist bands to curb seasickness are also available at all leading pharmacies.
Whether this has been a dream of yours for years or something more spontaneous, we hope these few tips will help ensure your trip is safe and enjoyable!
