Shark Dives
A typical day of shark diving starts with a full briefing and boat orientation at the dock. Once underway, the trip to the blue water takes 1-2hrs. Upon arrival, a chum slick is created to attract sharks and keep them around. During the wait everyone is given the opportunity to try out the cage and get comfortable with all diving procedures. Diving does't get easier! We supply all the dive gear (including wetsuits). SNUBA breathing regulators are mounted in the cage and weight harnesses provide proper buoyancy. NO CERTIFICATIONS are required, but we request that all participants are comfortable in the water with a dive mask and able to swim. The two person cage is made of aluminum pipe and fully welded on all seams. Entry and exits are done from the stern of the boat directly in and out of top mounted cage door. The cage will be floated 3-4' below the surface depending on sea conditions.
Our extended day trips include an optional anti shark surface snorkeling cage for the truly adventurous.

Private Charter - Two in One
10 hour excursion
We are now offering two types of shark trips in one day! These are private charters for up to six passengers that start off the same as our regular day trip for blue, hammerhead and mako sharks and add an additional three hours of targeting sandbar, spinner, white and dusky sharks on our way back closer to the dock. This focus is on the recent influx of bait fish in our near shore waters that have brought a great opportunity to see feeding whales, dolphins, sharks, rays and even the possibly of giant tuna.

Great White & Basking Sharks

These exploration trips are for the nothing ventured nothing gained types, but the risk can definitely be worth the reward.
