What you'll see

Experience the only dive with 8 species of sharks, featuring multiple Bull Sharks (the largest in the world), White Tip Reef Sharks, Black Tip Reef Sharks, Nurse Sharks, Lemon Sharks, Grey Reef Sharks, Silvertip Sharks and over 300 species of fish. As if that isn’t enough, 16 plus foot Tiger Sharks come in regularly, making this a shark lovers dream dive! As you descend through the clear waters to the 25 metre/80 foot landing, see sharks circling below along with hundreds of Jacks, Snappers and other fish species swirling around the feeding area. Within this excitement you may be rewarded by rare sightings of the huge Queensland Grouper and Hump Head Wrasse. You will not be in a cage, but situated on the reef around the perimeter of the dive site called the Arena. The main attraction, the huge Bull Sharks, arrive in numbers as far as the eye can see. They purposefully move in opening their enormous jaws to take the food from the feeder. When the Tiger Sharks arrive, everything you were just witnessing goes still and silent as the 16-18 foot denizen of the sea slowly and deliberately moves in to claim the area with its grand presence. After 20 minutes of bottom time, ascend up the beautiful reef ledge where Reef Sharks swim freely. The dive lasts about 50 minutes and provides award winning photo and video opportunities. After the hour long surface interval, the dive is repeated before a 10 minute boat ride back to the dock. Today you will witness something very special and this is a dive you will never forget!
