    With an impressive near-perfect rating from thousands of divers, this shark diving operation clearly delivers something special. Reviewers consistently describe their experiences as "amazing" and "incredible," with many admitting they were initially nervous but found the whole adventure surprisingly calm and peaceful. The crew earns praise across the board for being friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Names like Matthew, Hayley, Tyler, Liko, Faith, and Kaitlyn pop up repeatedly, with guests appreciating how informative and safety-focused the guides are throughout. The conservation-minded approach resonates strongly with visitors, who love learning about shark protection while experiencing these animals up close. Safety briefings are thorough and detailed, with the company's 17-year perfect safety record putting anxious divers at ease. Multiple guests mention feeling completely safe despite any initial fears, and several have returned for second dives. The comfortable boat and professional handling from start to finish round out what reviewers describe as a dream-come-true, once-in-a-lifetime experience that they'd recommend without hesitation.

    Best trip ever! Seeing the tiger sharks was just the icing on the cake! Our crew was Captain Liko, Faith, Marcus and Kaitlyn. They were great. I enjoyed the education prior to getting in the water! We got to see a ton of sharks and even got to dive close to some of them! So cool! Best experience and once in a lifetime! Would highly recommend this group! Side note: they offer skid shirts and go pro handles should you need them! This is included. They can also get photos of you but you need to request them ahead of time with the office.
