Did you know? Groups of crocodiles are known as "floats" when in the water, and on land, groups are referred to as "basks".

Crocodile cage diving is clearly not for the faint-hearted. What makes this so daring is that these crocodiles are 4m long Nile crocodiles and are man-eating predators. They view humans as their prey. These animals are considered as super predators and have various adaptations to help them make the perfect kill. Hunting usually takes place in the water, where the crocodile will kill prey by drowning them.

The cages are specifically designed to withstand the crocodile's incredible power as the crocs boast a bite pressure of over two tons per square inch which is 4 times the bite of a Great While Shark. You will carefully be lowered in the croc-proof cage into the crystal clear water that is home to 5 crocodiles. Goggles and a snorkel will be provided to view these creatures better.
