Shark and Dolphin Expedition
August 15 – August 22, 2011

Join Steven Anderson and Jim Abernethy for a Shark and Dolphin Expedition to the world famous Tiger Beach and the outer reefs along the Little Bahamas Banks. The cost of the trip is 2805.00 USD and includes diving for Tiger, Great Hammerhead, Lemon and Caribbean Reef Sharks for 5 days. We will spend 7 nights aboard the M/V Shear Water with all food, beverages, tanks, weights and air fills included. Nitrox is available for $100.00 if you want it. The boat will depart and return to West Palm Beach, Florida where there are hassle free flights available in and out. The airport is 20 minutes to the boat. This trip is planned for underwater photographers and experienced divers who have an interest in sharks and close - up action. There will be no cage and you will be underwater with several large sharks that are baited to provide the safest interaction you might ever experience. This trip provides some of the most exciting, extreme, and rewarding diving you might ever do. I can guarantee that you will return with a new appreciation of sharks and if you are a photographer, then you will return with great images.

We will spend some time taking images of Tiger Sharks and Lemon sharks topside with cameras trying to get bite shots as the sharks chase after bait on the surface, as well as a chance to swim with dolphins.

The M/V Shear Water is owned and operated by Jim Abernethy. Jim and his professional crew have been diving the Bahaman waters for the past 15 years and taking divers on these adventures for almost as many years. Jim and his crew are some of the most skilled and experienced shark operators in the world and have an excellent record for getting divers close up with sharks. All food and drink is provided along with snacks throughout the day.

Hi,
I wanted to second the suggestion of the Wyndham dive shop on Grand Bahama. I did a shark dive with them—no tigers, maneaters :)—and we didn't feed them. They were actually on their way to another group of divers with a regular feeding schedule and we intercepted them. Caribbean Reef Sharks. Totally up close. Totally natural and free. Really beautiful. I was taking an underwater video class at the time and put together a video of the dive. You can see it at GypsyCreative dot com. (Sorry, I'm not a seasoned-enough poster to put real URLs.) Have fun!
