Following our briefing we will charter a shared boat and set sail on the open seas for an exciting 3 hours of shark cage diving. During this time the crew members will engage the sharks to swim close to the boat so that you can have a close-up view. Please note that all diving gear and equipment are included in the adventure. (Please bring your own towel.) Once the experience has come to an end we will return to the shore, where there will be warm showers and fresh towels available.
