Thirty miles out at sea with no land in sight, hundreds of meters deep with endless visibility, blue sharks and mako sharks amongst giant schools of yellow and long fin tuna....a life changing experience indeed!
Diving amongst pelagic sharks is an adventure not many divers get to experience. We head out at first light and after a long journey by boat we reach our destination marked by loads of bird activity and commercial fishing boats taking advantage of the seasonal abundance of fish.
Blue sharks are very curious animals and they often swim right up to the divers for a closer look. They are the most beautiful shades of blue you can possibly imagine and pictures don’t do them justice.
This year the mako sharks were a little scarce with very few gracing us with their presence. But everyday out there is different and you just never know what to expect – its adventurous diver’s dream come true! The giant yellow fin tuna can weigh in at over 200 pounds and are extremely fast swimmers. We often get to jump in amongst tunas and sharks which make this dive just so much more rewarding.
