a shark cage diving group in South Africa was surprised when a shark
managed to stick its head inside the cage that they were in. Tony Baker from Great
White Shark Tours (https://www.facebook.com/Great.White.Shark.Tours?fref=ts
) said, "On the afternoon of 21st March, while divers were in the viewing
cage, a young great white shark of approximately 2 ½ m in length came up to the

injury to any diver or shark occurred. The cage is built to industry standards
