<p></em></p><p><strong>Gansbaai, South Africa</strong><br />This is where shark cage diving all began and is one of the wildest oceans in the world. Shark activity is huge here because of the abundance of prey such as fur seals that can support the population. You can watch them swim by from the safety of a boat or get right into the water with them - and afterward, head into the bush to take in the Big Five to really round out your wildlife experience.</p><p>[READMORE]<strong>READ MORE: <a href="http://www.travelpulse.com/news/airlines/check-out-southwests-new-shark-week-plane.html" target="_blank">Check Out Southwest's New Shark Week Plane</a></strong> [/READMORE]</p><p><strong>Fish Rock Cave, Australia</strong><br />If swimming next to the grey nurse shark is something that you are looking to experience, there's probably no better place to get close to one than Fish Rock Cave. They are found in the area in large numbers for most of the year and as a bonus, you can also find schools of fish, Queensland grouper, sea turtles, rare black coral gardens and more. </p>
