Summary:
Great experience, crew was friendly and professional. Lots of shark encounters with bronze sharks. Would have loved to see great white sharks but the company can’t control the sharks/environment

Summary:
What a wild day! Went shark cage diving with this crew and it was honestly amazing. We got up close with so many sharks, even spotted a stingray and other fish cruising around. The team was awesome — super friendly, funny, and made sure we felt safe the whole time.
Bonus points: we asked for vegetarian meals and they actually gave us both breakfast AND lunch, which were really good. Small thing, but it made a big difference.
All in all, such a memorable experience and I’d 100% recommend them if you’re planning to tick shark cage diving off your bucket list.
