Top Shark Diving Destinations
Swim with the sharks and face one of the world’s greatest fears and conquer it. Humans consider themselves out of their element in the water, especially around the wild life that exists within the deep. From a small age, children recognize sharks and are taught to fear them. Now is a chance to turn that fear into one of the greatest thrill-seeking adventures available on the planet. Over the past decade, people have increasingly traveled the world looking for opportunities to swim with the sharks in their natural habitat and now we have a complete list of the top shark diving destinations known to man. Spanning the world, these destinations will land you in the ideal spot to witness one of the ocean’s greatest mysteries: sharks.
United States
Although exotic vacations are wonderful, you don’t have to move too far from home to come face to face with sharks. There are three main destinations on both the east and west coast that provide opportunities to dive with a variety of sharks.
California: Taking you out into deeper waters, the cold Pacific Ocean allows for both cage and non-cage diving with a variety of shark species.
Rhode Island: Surprisingly, the freezing temperatures of the northeast attract some of the ocean’s most allusive sharks: the Blue Shark.
Florida: With more shark sightings here than anywhere else in the US, it isn’t surprising that patrons can go diving with hammerheads, whale sharks and even catch glimpses of bull sharks.
Australia
Famous for its Great Barrier Reef, Australia has clear waters that will rival the Bahamas and give you amazing views of a variety of ocean life, not just sharks. Although there are several smaller spots along the Australian coast that have become popular, the Barrier Reef is the major tourist attraction for seeing smaller reef sharks and the occasional Great White.
Central and South America
Recently, Mexico and South American countries have become hit destinations for beautiful scenery and remarkable shark sightings.
Brazil: Already a popular tourist spot, the shorelines of Brazil have become a major stop for thrill-seekers who are interested in seeing the more elusive lemon shark and the aggressive bull shark.
Costa Rica: The Cocos Islands is breathtaking in its beauty and clear sea water, but even more so it is becoming world-renowned for shark diving, particularly hammerhead sharks.
Mexico: On the Isla Guadalupe, a small relatively unpopulated island, there is a heart stopping Great White show that few know about. Skip busy tourist areas and relax on this virtually private beach in between shark diving sessions.
South Africa
Two words: ‘Shark Alley.’ Visit the ‘Great White Shark’ capital of the world that any shark diver addict must see. The Atlantic just off of South Africa is a breeding ground for seals and therefore the seals’ biggest predator – the Great White. South Africa is also known for its whale shark sightings.
Galapagos Island
Darwin’s famous island just got a little more interesting with groups of 100 or more hammerhead sharks circling the island throughout the year. This is an incredible sight that you won’t want to miss.
