Shark Dive Adventures

Tiger Beach, an area located off the West End of Grand Bahama Island, is known for its clear blue water, sandy bottom and population of big sharks.  You can cage dive with tiger sharks, reef sharks, lemon sharks and even the occasional hammerhead.  No dive certification is necessary.  A hookah air system is used and cage divers are under the close supervision of a dive professional.

Incredible Adventures is now taking reservations dive adventures in April,  June and August.  For complete details, call 800-644-7382.

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.

Captain Karl Stanley and his sub are featured in a documentary available on Amazon called “A View From Below”.  We’ve ordered our copy. You should too!

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.

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.
