Important tips about Shark diving holidays

Even though you will be able to see sharks all the year round, seasons when Sharks are particularly active in their feeding patterns are more ideal for cheap Shark diving holidays, and this may vary from one destination to another.

You will always be given a lecture on Shark anatomy and behavior before your Shark diving exercise starts.  Once on the boat, food will be used to lure Sharks closer in a process called baiting. Once the Sharks surround the boat, you will be invited to enter the water using a special diving cage made from galvanised metal which can take up to three people at a time. The cage is designed to withstand bites from the Sharks as you get closer to them.

Those who are not brave enough can view the sharks from special platforms on the boat. Sharks usually feed at the surface which means you will still get some of the actions and photo opportunities.Since cages have breathing tubes attached to the boat, no diving experience is usually required for Shark diving. However because of the risky nature of Shark diving holidays, the crew must be skilled, experienced, dependable and supportive.
