Shark Bait
Following on a bit from my previous post, I did a bit of research into being able to get in a cage amongst the Great Whites.
There are trips that can be made in South Australia with a company founded by Rodney Fox, himself a victim of a Great White attack (you can google him and find pictures; it's not for the squeamish).
They take you on a boat out of Port Lincoln to a seal colony, where you can go in a cage on the side of the boat, or if you have scuba experience, in a cage that is lowered onto the ocean floor, where you apparently get even better views.
I was quite pleased to hear of this, as I thought such trips were only available in South Africa, so I quickly scanned their website for pricing information and got a bit of a shock; it costs A$2,995 a trip, which is 4 nights aboard the boat.
I've decided I'll start saving once I get to Oz and go on my 50th birthday, by which time it will probably cost double!

2024 edit: I did, in fact do the four day trip for my 50th and it was amazing!
