Great White Sharks and Port Lincoln Tour

Welcome to the Seafood Capital of Australia, Port Lincoln! Please check-in and wander along the foreshore of Port Lincoln. At your own expense, you can dine at one of the many close restaurants.

You’re up bright and early for one of the most extreme and exhilarating ocean interactions with the world’s most feared predator of the sea! Honed by millions of years of evolution, the Great White Shark is one have the most graceful and awe-inspiring fish in the ocean. Absolutely nothing will prepare you for the unique experience on your first encounter with this magnificent specimen in its natural environment.

For your Shark Dive, you are required to board the Shark Cage Dive Vessel by 6.30am on the date of your dive from the pontoon in the Port Lincoln Marina. Early morning snacks for breakfast, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea are prepared on board. Your day will conclude around 7.00-7.30pm that evening.

The home of the Great Whites is out at the Neptune Islands and the 2.5 to 3hour trip is often accompanied by pods of dolphins cruising by with lots of running commentary by the staff on board the shark diving vessel. Once at the Islands, the action begins as sharks up to 18ft emerge from the depths.

Everyone gets the opportunity to dive in the shark proof cage to eyeball these monsters face to face. The view from the deck and fly bridge is just as incredible! The cage is lowered to about surface level and the diver is only submerged 2-3 feet below the surface with divers breathing through regulator and airline attached via a hookah system onboard the boat.

There are videos, live streaming from inside the cage on the galley big screens, books, history, and memorabilia all on board to keep everyone amused and if the day does get the better of guests, then there are always plenty of bunks to have a “nanna nap” to reinvigorate for the day ahead! All diving equipment is supplied and no prior diving experience is necessary!
