About
The Big Shark Drift Expedition offers a captivating half-day journey dedicated to encountering some of the ocean's most elusive shark species, including the majestic great hammerheads and formidable tiger sharks. These magnificent creatures, known for their migratory patterns, grace our waters from late January to early May, offering a limited window of opportunity for observation. Choose between morning or afternoon departures for a six-hour excursion that promises unparalleled encounters with these oceanic giants, right in our backyard.
Embarking from the dock, we venture into the vast expanse of the sea in search of these awe-inspiring beings. The expedition comprises multiple dives, beginning with an hour-long classic shark drift amidst our more commonly seen local shark species. Transitioning to remote and targeted areas, we employ specialized techniques honed over years of experience to locate and interact with hammerhead and tiger sharks. Our unique approach sets us apart as the only free dive/snorkel boat in the area, offering accessibility to these elusive creatures without requiring dive certifications. With an average water time of one and a half to two hours, we patiently drift with the current, awaiting captivating encounters with these magnificent animals. Each encounter promises a truly unforgettable and enriching experience, perfect for those seeking the thrill of encountering rarely seen species, albeit with a dash of patience as we drift in anticipation.
