Book it! - Booked this for a friend’s birthday and wasn’t totally sure what to expect, but it ended up being awesome! You don’t need to bring much—just towels. Everything else gets locked up in waterproof storage for the whole trip. They let us borrow rash guards for the dive (definitely recommend—super helpful), and if you’re planning to take photos, just know only GoPros are allowed in the water when you’re with the sharks. The guides were super friendly and made us feel really safe the whole time. They shared a ton of interesting info about the sharks, how to stay safe while swimming near them, and even talked about conservation efforts. We went to a natural feeding spot (no baiting or weird stuff to attract them), and just got to observe them doing their thing. Overall, a really cool, respectful experience with the animals!

Super fun - Lots of shark easy to free dive down to and swim with. Water was warm and the safety divers where supper knowable and fun to be around. You don’t need a weight belt or anything they are very close to the surface.

Great fun - A truly great experience. The divers make you feel very safe and comfortable in the water. We had varying levels of snorkelers on the boat and they were great with each. It’s a great trip for kids. Boat ride is short and plenty of time in the water.

Outstanding customer service - Brit from one ocean dive is the type of customer service you want to work with. Personal and down to earth , wants to make sure you have a good experience with your visit . Believe me when I say, they put your safety first and foremost. Some of the other companies DO NOT! This is the only company you can trust with your safety and your enjoyment while shark diving! They do it for the right reasons. It’s not about the profits, it’s about the experience and the conservation of our oceans!

Once in a lifetime experience! Felt so safe! - Truly one of the coolest experiences of my life!!! All of the employees were so kind and gave some great info about these incredible animals. I was a little nervous at first, but once I was in the water I was not scared at all (no exaggeration)! With the staff in there guiding the sharks, you feel at peace. These are such beautiful animals and this was a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget!

Don’t Miss! - Fantastic information about sharks and how to stay safe in the water. The crew was very friendly and took great care of everyone. I would have like a little instruction given about how best to do free diving. The sharks were unbelievable. I stayed in the water as long as possible.

Great Overall with Minor Catch - Amazing experience especially since the staff all seem very passionate about sharks and taught us a bit about conservation work which I appreciated. I gave four stars instead of five because the photograph package is very expensive ($250) and there is no option of splitting it with other travelers. Other tours that I've seen that are similar in price offer free photos.
