Swim With Sharks In Australia
If you are thinking about diving with sharks, Australia might not be the first place that comes into mind. But you can actually find some great shark diving in Australia.
You can do everything from a simple one-day aquarium shark dive to a several-day live-aboard shark diving tour. You can also do cage diving in Australia.
Do you want to try to scuba dive with grey nurse sharks and wobbygong sharks? Then you should go to South West Rocks, which is voted among the top ten scuba dive sites in Australia. Sheer walls plunge to an average depth of 30 meters in an area that is rarely affected by current.
But if you want even more excitement you can try the largest thrill of them all: great white shark diving. And instead of going to the more well-known place South Africa, you can do this special type of scuba diving in Australia.
One option for great white shark cage diving in Australia is going on a shark diving tour from Sydney. But more popular departure points for great white shark diving expeditions are Adelaide and Port Lincoln in South Australia.
Both places are great departure points from live-aboard expeditions to great white shark diving spots. From either Adelaide or Port Lincoln you sail to the Southern Ocean around the Neptune Islands. And even though you are doing the trip to see the great white shark, you can also find a lot of other interesting animals like dolphins, fur seals and many bird species. Even the beautiful and rare Australian sea lion can be seen around the islands.
So if you never have tried a great white shark cage dive and you are on vacation in Australia, you have the option to try it for the first time.
If you are not into several days of shark diving expeditions, a more easy way to dive with sharks are in an aquarium. Australia has several places to do that; like Melbourne, Sydney and the Sunshine Coast.
Normally you are offered an introduction to diving (if you are not a certified diver). Certified scuba diver can normally skip the pool practice. After the practice and introduction to the sharks, you are brought down in the big tanks. Often it is also possible to feed the sharks. And your family can watch you from the outside.
So an aquarium shark dive is a great way to have a close encounter with this amazing species without it haves to be a great white shark.
Australia is a great place to try shark diving; no matter if it is a great white shark dive in the open water or a more relaxing shark dive in an aquarium.
