Piet Smal owns and manages White Shark Adventures and is a pioneer in the shark cage diving industry.  He has gained vast experience and expertise in the shark cage diving industry over many years (since 1998) and, being committed to black economic empowerment within the shark cage diving industry, he guides, mentors and coaches historically disadvantaged individuals (HDIs), thereby transferring useful skills and achieving real transformation within the industry.

White Shark Adventures is based and run from Piet and Anna’s house in Kleinbaai, which is known as The House of Nemo!
