Diving Experience Overview

The Shark Cage Diving Experience

Your Experience Begins

Enjoy a warm welcome at our Great White House, the meeting place where your adventure will begin

Upon arrival you will be served a continental breakfast or hot lunch while checking-in for your experience. We then conduct a detailed safety briefing, while our team organises your gear and equipment, including a bag with your wetsuit and booties as well as a life-jacket and weather-proof jacket

The Journey To Shark Alley

A short stroll down the road will lead you to our purpose built boat

Once you have boarded the vessel, our experienced skipper will ensure you are prepared for the conditions on the day. After setting out from the harbour, guided by our knowledgeable and experienced team, look out for other marine life such as whales, dolphins and penguins along the way

Up Close and Personal

Once the boat is anchored at Shark Alley it's time to get geared up for a once-in-a-lifetime shark experience

As the sharks begin to arrive our team will assist you in getting into the cage that is set alongside the boat. Dip below the surface and watch as the sharks cruise by. From the deck you can witness all the action in the water below while enjoying hot chocolate and snacks. Our onboard marine biologist is ready to help you discover and learn more about these magnificent creatures

Shark Species

The Dyer Island marine ecosystem is home to three different and captivating shark species including the notorious Great White Shark. The sharks can be seen from the safety of the cage and from our viewing decks. Our knowledgeable marine biologist onboard will assist in identifying the different species of sharks as well as distinguish the unique behavioural details about each species
