Once at the Islands, the action begins as sharks up to 18ft emerge from the depths.
Everyone gets the opportunity to dive in the shark proof cage to eyeball these monsters face to face. The view from the deck and fly bridge is just as incredible! The cage is lowered to about surface level and the diver is only submerged 2-3 feet below the surface with divers breathing through regulator and airline attached via a hookah system onboard the boat.
There are videos, live streaming from inside the cage on the galley big screens, books, history, and memorabilia all on board to keep everyone amused and if the day does get the better of guests, then there are always plenty of bunks to have a “nanna nap” to reinvigorate for the day ahead!
