2 Tank - Certified Shark Dive

Offer Image
This could quite possibly be the most exciting two dives you will ever do, as you swim with and witness Caribbean Reef Sharks as they are fed.

2 Tank Certified Shark Dive Day Trip

Maybe Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes, but in this two-tank certified dive, you get to swim with the Caribbean reef sharks!

After being picked up on the pier for your Nassau excursion, you will transfer to the dive shop, 45 minutes away. Once you have filled out the required paperwork, you will suit up and head out. This two-tank dive program introduces thrill-seeking divers to wild sharks and provides you a close-up look at these magnificent and misunderstood creatures.

On a magnificent wall, during your first dive, you "Free Swim" with the sharks. Since we're situated close to our feeding spot and they are mindful that dinner will be offered shortly, the sharks will follow you during the dive. On this dive, no bait is exposed. This keeps the sharks engaged and makes a truly natural encounter between divers and sharks, just as you would in the wild.

Your second dive is a shark feeding dive. You will spend this dive kneeling on the sand bottom, which is different from other dives. Divers form a semicircle in front of our professional shark feeder who will place a bait box. This bait box and a pole spear are used by your feeder to manage the food release, which impacts the behaviors of the sharks. While inexperienced shark divers might not see it, your feeder works to keep the sharks in a "nice" feeding position during the shark feeding dives. Caution, the sharks will come very close, but they are more interested in the bait than you.

Please Note: The tour includes complimentary round-trip transfers from your hotel and the use of tanks, weights and weight belts. Any additional equipment (wetsuit or skin with long legs & long sleeve) is not included but is AVAILABLE to rent at the dive shop. Please contact us for any additional information.
