Domingo, enero 25th, 2009

Adrenaline junkies are constantly in search for something original and awesome. Do you imagine yourself as a bit of an adrenaline-junkie? If yes, then I can recommend you the most recent must-do diving experience, Crocodile Cage Diving. You are correctly if you imagine I’m talking about swimming with assassin crocodiles.

Not for nervous, it’s a courageous task that is presented only in South Africa at the Cango Ranch. What does this so courageous is that these crocodiles are 4m long Nile crocodiles and are man-eating predators. They observe humans as their prey.

Daredevils who desire to try this adrenaline-pumping feat are leisurely lowered into the heated crocodile pool along with 5 large Nile crocodiles and are protected from the predators by a particularly designed cage. Protected by the strong cage, the crocodiles swim around you sizing you up as a delicious snack.
