ICC Cricket World Cup Goes on a Great White Shark Dive
The International Cricket Council Cricket World Cup is on a three-month long tour of Australia.
The ICC Cricket World Cup Trophy has achieved another world first in Port Lincoln, South Australia, when it completed a Great White Shark Dive in the Neptune Island Conservation Park with former Australian World Cup fast bowler, Shaun Tait, and his wife and Indian model, Mashoom Singha, with help from Calypso Charters Shark Cage Dive.
The shark dive kicked off the South Australian leg of the trophy tour, after the trophy spent 12 days in Western Australia, where it visited Perth and regional areas and had the chance to sky dive at Jurien Bay.
Commenting on the day, Tait said: "Just like playing in the World Cup, today was a once in a lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with some Great White Sharks and take the Trophy along for the ride"
"I'd encourage any visitors coming to South Australia for the tournament to get along to Port Lincoln and dive with the Great White Sharks!"
On the three-month long tour, fans will have the opportunity to get their photo taken with the ICC Cricket World Cup Trophy, and test their cricketing skills with a speed gun test and cricket nets.
Commencing February 14, 2015, the ICC Cricket World Cup will be the biggest sporting event of the year as the best cricket players come together to compete for the ultimate prize.
