Suddenly, with a number of sightings in the Red Sea, everyone's talking about tiger sharks - animals not to be underestimated. You can sign up for the Tiger Shark Experience at Aliwal Shoal in South Africa from January to June, when 3m-plus females are present, or at other times of year if smaller specimens will do for you. Dive The Big 5 chums the water from its boat and reports 100% success rates in sightings over recent years. Great white, hammerhead, Zambezi and blacktip sharks may also turn up, but this is not cage diving but drift-diving at 5m, or snorkelling from the boat. The daily rate of 800 rand (around £70) includes air, weights and snacks, and the boat carries four to eight divers.
