I did a day trip
Saw heaps of good sized sharks in great visibility, couldn't ask for better. They say they see more sharks in winter however I went in December from memory. I'd highly Reccomend doing a multiple day trip if the budget permits.

calypso star is the onlyyyyyyyyy way to go.. the only company that can bait up. more costly but soooo muchhh more worthh it. Big sharks, lots of em and probs one of the most enjoyable week ends of my life.

Calypso Star and Rodney Fox
Both Calypso Star and Rodney Fox can bait and burley. I went out for an extended trip with Fox. Saw plenty of sharks. If you are a diver Fox is pretty good because they offer the chance to send you down to the bottom in a cage. It is about 20m deep and I enjoyed that way better than the top. In addition to sharks you see a lot of other decent fish down there, and the sharks are amazing.
Just be careful not all operators have a licence to use bait and burley, and from what I saw they are a waist of time. ACDC just doesn't cut it compared to good old blood and fish!!

haven't been on a cage dive
haven't been on a cage dive yet myself (came close but was crap weather - only a matter of time) however know a few who have and from their experience cand second both Calypso Star or Fox both are good operators with good reps.
