Shark Dive Adventures

We had another great white shark sighting from the cage on Sunday. White shark season at the Farallones ends November 20th, so don’t wait too long to plan a white shark adventure in San Francisco.  For info, call Sheri at 800-644-7382 or send her an email.

Our newest shark adventure takes place off the island of Roatan in the Honduras. Climb inside Idabel, a one-of-a-kind submersible, for a journey into the deep sea world of the six gill shark.  The $5600 price is good for one or two people and includes hotel accommodations, airport transfers and guided adventure tours in Roatan.  For more information, call 1-941-346-2603 or email Sheri Lewis at Incredible Adventures.

Dive Instructor (and Marine Biologist, and incredible underwater photographer) Matt called from the Bahamas yesterday to tell us it was another great day at Tiger Beach.  He and IA’s shark divers spotted one tiger shark and several lemon sharks.

Our next Tiger Beach Adventure is slated for October 15th.  Private charters are available on other dates. Contact Sheri for details.

There’s no swimming at Stinson Beach near San Francisco this week.  Authorities spotted a great white shark swimming 200 to 300 years off the beach.

We love news reports of early shark sightings near San Francisco.  It’s a sign it’ll be a great season of shark diving at the Farallon Islands.

Read the news story here.

We’re now filling two Bahamas dive dates.  Dive instructor and marine biologist Matt will be leading trip to Tiger Beach on July 25th and again on July 31st.  Space is still available on each trip. Cage divers pay $875 and topside participants pay $375.   For more info, contact Sheri Lewis at 800-644-7382 or 941-346-2603.

Spend a day at legendary Tiger Beach with SharkyJill, IA’s incredible shark-loving dive instructor. Cage dive with tiger sharks, lemon sharks and more, under Jillian’s watchful eye.  Our next dives are slated for May 21st and June 25th.  No prior dive experience is necessary.

We recently caught a bit of heat for offering only cage dives, but we stand by our decision to keep all divers safely within the confines of our shark cage.  A shark cage allows divers to focus solely on having a great time and taking great photos and eliminates the need to be constantly aware of one’s surroundings.  Sharks aren’t maneaters, out to chomp on unsuspecting divers, but accidents can and do happen in the water.  We believe it’s better to be safe than sorry. Plus, by using a shark cage, we make it possible for even inexperienced divers and snorkelers to experience the thrill of seeing a shark in the wild.

Shark Guy Joe Deppen has joined IA’s Adventure Team and will be leading IA’s Tiger Shark Adventure in the Bahamas on Saturday, February 26th.  Joe has a degree in Marine Biology and has been part of several shark research projects.  In his non-adventure life, Joe works for Aquarius, an underwater lab in Key Largo, Florida.  If you can’t make the February trip with Joe,  you can join him in the Bahamas for our April 2nd Tiger Beach trip.

Sharky Jill is heading off to Australia for an underwater film shoot, but she’ll be back and ready to lead a May 21st shark adventure.

That’s three dates when you can Dive Tiger Beach with Incredible Adventures.  Choose one, or dive all three.  For details, contact Sheri Lewis at 800-644-7382.

We’re pretty sure a certain young man will never forget the birthday gift he received this year.  He got to spend an incredible day with his dad diving with sharks at Tiger Beach.

According to IA Dive Instructor Jillian Morris, the day couldn’t have been more perfect.  She called from Grand Bahama to report she counted 15 lemon sharks and one very big tiger shark.

If you’d like to dive with sharks, our next trip is set for Saturday, February 26th.

Our next Tiger Shark Adventure in the Bahamas is set for Saturday, February 26th.  Our boat will depart from Old Bahama Bay Marina for Tiger Beach, the underwater playground of big tiger sharks, reef sharks and lemon sharks.  The cost to cage dive is $875 and topside viewers pay $375.  No dive experience is required.  The trips are led by Jillian Morris, a certified dive instructor and shark naturalist.

Old Bahama Bay Marina is located on the West End of Grand Bahama Island.  The nearest “big city” is Freeport.  Several major airlines fly into Freeport, or you can catch a daily cruise ship from Ft Lauderdale, Florida to Port Lucaya.

If you want to dive with great white sharks in San Francisco this year, you better act quickly.  We still have a few cage dive spots and topside spots left for our Saturday, November 14th white shark expedition, but everything else for this season is sold out.

The cost to cage dive is $875 and topsiders pay $375 for a full day adventure at sea.  The Farallon Islands, located roughly 25 miles off the coast of San Francisco, are known to be one of the best places in the world to view large adult great whites.

If you can’t join us on the 14th, start thinking about next year.  Spots sell out quickly. We’re already taking bookings for 2011.
