THE ADVENTURE

Join us for an EPIC trip to the Bahamas for a chance to dive with two of the ocean's most iconic predatory sharks…Tiger Sharks and Great Hammerheads!

The winter season in the Bahamas marks a special time when large tiger sharks return to Tiger Beach.

and…

December heralds the start of the great hammerhead season.

Tiger Beach is the best place in the world to encounter tiger sharks in crystal-clear, shallow water.

and…

Bimini is the only place in the world where Great Hammerheads can be reliably found.

We have been diving at both of these locations for over a decade.

And these two dive sites do not disappoint.

The amazing visibility of these waters provides the perfect setting for you to observe and photograph these EPIC predators up close.

This isn't your typical scuba diving adventure… you are going to see BIG sharks, and a lot of them.

Please note that if we are fortunate enough to have great hammerheads staying around at Tiger Beach, we'll focus our efforts there and forgo our trip to Bimini.

This is a truly unique opportunity for you to dive alongside some of the ocean's most thrilling predators, making this a truly unforgettable experience of a lifetime.

Latest Trip Reports

“These are baited dives - We use chum and fish parts to attract sharks.” 

SHARK FEEDS
Before each dive, we conduct a comprehensive safety briefing, guiding everyone on how and where to position themselves in the water for the most secure and enjoyable experience.

Safety is of paramount importance on these dives, and our experienced guides are well-versed in maintaining a controlled environment for both humans and sharks.

We only bring down enough bait to offer the sharks a snack, which keeps their focus on the bait box. This ensures a controlled and safe encounter, allowing you to comfortably capture images while maintaining a respectful distance from the sharks.

Our priority is to create a positive and responsible experience for both you and the sharks. By providing a controlled environment and following strict safety protocols, we aim to minimize any potential risks and ensure that our interactions are conducted with the utmost care and respect.

We understand the importance of preserving the natural behaviors and habitats of the sharks, and our responsible approach to shark diving allows us to witness these magnificent animals in their element while contributing to their conservation and protection.
