We had a great experience shark cage diving with galapagos sharks! They were somewhere between 7-10 feet long and because we were utilizing the cage, the guides could chum the waters (well-outside the cage) to bring the sharks much closer than what you would experience in the cageless experience. Also, because we were further from shore than the cageless divers, the guides explained we were likely to see larger sharks. So, closer and larger…that was pretty cool to know. Each group had 15min or so in the water which was a sufficient amount of time to enjoy the experience. Bring your gopro or waterproof cameras! Great guides, awesome experience.

It was so much fun! We LOVED seeing all the sharks. We had plenty of time in the water and were also able to watch them from the boat during the other group’s turn. It was by far one of the coolest tours we took in Hawaii. I would love to do this again! Thank you!

Shark dive went great. Captain and helper, Titus, were warm, welcoming and informative. Everything was well explained, and every member of our group felt well taken care of. The captain stopped on our sail out to location so we could photo and enjoy several groups of spinner dolphins. By the time the boat hooked up and began dropping the cage, several good sized Galapagos sharks started zooming by. Was an exhilarating experience and would recommend this company, and the operators, to others.
