Swimming face-to-face with a massive saltwater crocodile … κολυμπώντας με θαλάσσιους κροκόδειλους.




Swimming face-to-face with a massive saltwater crocodile might not be everyone's idea of fun but thrill-seekers are snapping up northern Australia's new tourist attraction.

Tourists who want to get cozy with a crocodile climb into a clear acrylic cage, dubbed "the cage of death," which is about 145 mm thick and 2.8 metres high, wearing just a pair of swimming goggles and a swimsuit.
The cage has no bars, unlike cages used in shark dives, which prevents the reptiles from gripping on but deep teeth scratches are visible on the sides, deterring some hesitant participants.
The attraction, located at in the heart of the northern city of Darwin in the Northern Territory, was given high marks by adrenaline-junkies.
