Face a Great White Shark South Africa is the place to go to for seeing the Great White Shark, up close and personal. It's also for those who don't mind losing a limb or two, as diver Bryan Plummer realised when a Great White Shark nearly tore into the protective cage he was in. Plummer's friends had the sense (or lack of) to continue filming his experience amid the red swirl of blood that surrounded him – which wasn't his, thankfully – resulting in a terrifying experience that even Spielberg would find difficult to replicate.
