Bahamas Shark Dive Adventure from Nassau
This 2-tank dive program introduces thrill seeking certified divers to wild sharks and provides you a close-up look at these magnificent and misunderstood creatures.
There are currently four sites where these dives with the sharks take place. You will dive either the combination of "Shark Wall" and "The Arena" or the combination of "Shark Wall North" and "The Runway." At these locations you will encounter a gathering of Caribbean Reef Sharks on a consistent basis.
Your first dive with the sharks is along a magnificent wall where the sharks swim calmly along with the divers in a non-feeding environment. Your second dive is on a large sand patch where the group kneels down in a semi-circle and watches your Divemaster feed the sharks off of a long pole. Dozens of 5-6 foot Caribbean Reef Sharks swim amidst everyone and come within touching distance of all of the divers (although no touching is allowed!).
Video and photos are taken of each dive and are available to watch and purchase once back at the dive shop. High quality digital prints will also be available for purchase.
There are "Non Participant" options for non-divers to come along on the boat.
