I would urge people who want to dive in the aquariums to really think about that decision. Sharks don't do well in tanks, in atlanta several have already died, the tiger in vegas has died, the spain aqaurium has had several die as well. When they need to get a shark they go out and fish for it, hook it, and bring in to the aquarium. This is a very brutal and stressful act for the shark. These animals are made for swimming 150 miles + every day and now they are stuck in a tank for the rest of their lives. Think of the message you're sending. The orca at seaworld is a great example-large animals should be in the ocean where they belong not in a tank for profits. Yes you can say it supports conservation but there are much better ways. If you really are serious about shark conservation and seeing them see them in their own environment. Then your hard earned $$$ are going toward sharks in their natural environment.

Shark trip spots available

You can see wobegongs in Indonesia. We saw plenty in the Raja Ampat islands, although these are quite hard to get to (western tip of Papua).
Saw hundreds of white tip reef sharks in the Galapagos. You can get really close when they're resting, plus the thrill of watching them out hunting.

I haven't been to Rangiroa or Galapagos - will one day...

But some good ones:

Beqa Lagoon (as mentioned already by quite a few already) for Bronze Whalers and the occasional Tiger Shark.

Southern Red Sea (Daedalas, St Johns) for Hammerheads, Whitetips and Oceanic Whitetips.

Northern Great Barrier Reef in Australia for Whitetips and Tigers.

For bullsharks, try Playa del Carmen from November to late Ferbruary early March. During this season BIG pregnant bullsharks gather in a particular spot of the beach and every dive is a shark sighting guarantee.

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, but you wont need it.

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 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.
