Q: Is this great white shark dive experience safe for beginners?

A: Yes. This great white shark dive and tour uses a secure surface cage, and the experienced crew provide full safety briefings for beginners and non-divers.

Q: Do I need previous dive experience to join the great white shark dive and tour?

A: No experience is required. The cage remains at the surface, making it suitable for first-timers and confident swimmers.

Q: How long do I get to spend in the cage?

A: Cage time depends on shark activity on the day, as the sharks are wild and come and go naturally. The crew does their best to give each group a similar amount of time based on the level of interaction. Keep in mind that the day also includes great viewing opportunities from the boat while you wait for your turn.

Q: Will I definitely see a Great White Shark during the tour?

A: Sightings are highly likely thanks to the licensed use of natural berley, but not guaranteed. If no sharks appear, the No Shark Policy provides a generous return voucher.

Q: What should I bring on my great white shark dive experience?

A: Here's a list of things we recommend you to bring:
• Bathers and a towel
• Camera if you have one; GoPro hire and highlight packages available on board
• Charging cables; USB points are available
• Comfortable clothing and warm layers, especially in winter
• Sunglasses preferably polarised; available for purchase on board
• Sunscreen
• Soft soled shoes suitable for the boat not thongs
• Small bags only as space is limited
• Reusable drink bottle; chilled filtered water provided
• Please note our vessels are cashless and accept card payments only

Q: Can I join even if I do not want to dive?

A: Yes. The price is the same for divers and non-divers, and the viewing decks offer fantastic shark-spotting opportunities.

Q: When is the best time to come and dive with the sharks?

A: Because sharks are wild and constantly moving, we cannot guarantee the best time to join the tour as conditions change each year.

Q: What is Berley?

A: Berley is a finely minced mix of natural fish products placed in the water to create a scent that can attract sharks. The Neptune Islands Marine Park already draws sharks naturally because of the year-round colony of more than 40,000 Long Nosed Fur Seals. Berley only works on sharks that are already close to the area, as they are nomadic animals that visit the islands to feed.
