Celebrity sharks

Gansbaai, a seaside village in the Western Cape, has become a celebrity hotspot, all drawn by shark cage diving. Visitors include Prince Harry (who bought a black beanie embroidered with a shark, for his brother, William), Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake, Nicolas Cage (bought local T-shirts), Brad Pitt (also bought T-shirts), Colin Farrell, Christopher Lambert, Sting, Mark Shuttleworth, Steffi Graf, and Michael Schumacher. Despite controversy over using bait to lure sharks closer to boats, the shark cage diving industry is booming, with 8 companies operating in Gansbaai.
