This experience was AMAZING!! We swam so close to the sharks! Our guide was incredible. I am not the strongest swimmer so I was a little afraid of the dive, but she was right there the whole time to make sure I was safe. Make sure to take Dramamine before you go because the boat ride to and from can be rough.
My family and I had a blast today! Such a great experience with the water being so clear and to see so many sharks! We were stunned by seeing the tiger shark! The staff were so nice, so helpful and educated. Our group was the perfect size. We learned so much and I highly recommend this experience. It’s worth the money.
We had a great outing with the team at One Ocean Diving! We saw a few different species of sharks while we were out there. Highly recommend this tour for those looking to learn and swim with the sharks
I felt so safe. It was amazing! The staff was so nice and I learned so much! This is one of the coolest things I’ve done and would definitely do again!
It was an amazing experience, I would absolutely recommend this activity! I felt completely safe the entire time, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We also saw many sharks, which made it even more unforgettable. I’d definitely recommend trying the free-diving option!

I am a German Cruise Ship Technician and done this adventure in my spare time. Just Awesome and the prices also reasoble
Wow! Shark trip was super fun, informative, and safe! The girls Hailey and Liko did an amazing job. They guided us throughout the whole ride and in water. Super fun experience 100% recommend ask for Hailey and Liko!
We did the early morning tour with,Andrew, Hayley and Liko. The experience was amazing, sharks keep to the boat even before you get into the water. Never felt unsafe with the crew watching out for all of us. The education on sharks alone should be why you book this tour, swimming with sharks are fun but its hard to believe what they have to go through. ( Nothing to do with the crew but you will be on a rope on the boat I suggest you keep space from one another. You are watchingfor sharks you should not have to worry about getting kicked by a boat mate cause it will ruin all the fun.) Just listen to the crew and you will have a amazing time. They have great knowledge.
Aloha, mahalo for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your early morning tour with Andrew, Hayley, and Liko, and that you felt safe and well taken care of in the water. 🦈 We also appreciate your note about spacing on the boat, safety and comfort for everyone is very important, and we’ll keep that in mind for future tours. The crew works hard to share both fun and education, and we’re so glad the shark education made an impact for you! We hope to welcome you back to the water with us again soon. 🌊
Very nice and funny guides, also very expierienced. Absolutely stunning diving experience with a lot of fun! I can recommend a 100%!
This was absolutely amazing!!! Our captain and safety divers were so wonderful. I was traveling with my husband and two teenage daughters and we all had the best time. The crew really had our safety as top priority. This was a once in a lifetime experience to swim with and learn about sharks in their natural environment. If you are on the fence- get off and go do this you won’t regret it!
