Is This Adventure For You? |
Absolutely! But...there are a few things you should know. Please read this
and the only surprise will be how this shark encounter is so much more than
you ever imagined!
When we say this adventure is for everyone, we mean it. Our guests have
included non-swimmers who had never been in the ocean to National Geographic
photographers. Both were very impressed! The youngest person in the shark
cage was a 3 year old girl and the oldest over 70. We have taken a
paraplegic and a woman who had lost her foot to a great white.
Must be easy, right? Yes it is, but not always. Our shark grounds are
three miles off the famous North Shore. This is the open ocean, which can be
very rough. Even on a calm day the boat still rocks! If you are prone to
motion sickness, this will bring it on.
Sometimes the weather is so rough that it becomes dangerous and we must cancel
the tour. This can happen fairly often in the winter and spring. When you
book, we will ask for a phone number or hotel room. If the weather looks too
rough, we will call you the day before. If you are coming on vacation, it may
be wise to schedule your shark trip during the beginning so we can try again if
the weather is too rough. You can also call us at anytime to check on conditions.
The weather is not always rough, especially in the mornings. We encourage people
to come on the early trip. We know it is hard to get up early on vacation but what
are you going to remember for the rest of your life? A few moments with your pillow
or being surrounded by 30 sharks?
We do not want to scare you out of coming. Some people just seem to be surprised
that small boats on a big ocean don't sit still! Calm or rough, rain or shine, everyone
that comes with us has a great time, even the ones who get seasick. Thanks for reading
this. There is much more info on the FAQs page as well.
