South Australia: Shark Cage Diving in Port Lincoln
It seems that there's only two places to swim with the scariest thing in the ocean without dying, one of them being South Africa, and the other being Port Lincoln in Australia. I had the opportunity to go swimming with the ultimate predator of the ocean, the Great White Shark on my road trip a...
