What to Expect During the Dive

In general, the shark dive will take between 20-30 minutes, though this may vary depending on the package you purchase.

Once you’re in the cage, you’ll be lowered down from the boat. The cage will be attached to the boat and floating at the surface level. The experience is relatively peaceful, and the sharks will swim around the cage, giving you an up-close and personal encounter. 🦈

It’s essential to remember that the sharks are not interested in hurting you, but rather, it’s a matter of respect towards their space; the worst thing you can do is touch or come too close.

As soon as your dive ends, you’ll feel buzzing with the thrill of the experience and the accomplishment of stepping out of your comfort zone. 🙌
