The Crew

Jan du Toit
Skipper
Skipper Jan du Toit was born and raised in Gansbaai. He truly loves the sea and was once a commercial diamond diver, involved in the commercial fishing industry, and then joined the shark cage diving world in 2010.
Jan joined Marine Dynamics in August 2014. His vast experience as a skipper in the area is invaluable in our operation. Jan is a keen photographer of the great white shark and on his off days enjoys the patient art of shore fishing.
