Reviews
We chose Marine Dynamics due to the excellent reviews we read online. What a smart decision!!! This shark diving experience was AMAZING !!! The staff was excellent - very knowledgeable, kind, and caring. We saw 2 great white sharks and several copper sharks !!!
Great Experience!
A lot of really good close encounter, chum the waters, cycled through cage for 5 to 10 min, multiple times
Unfortunately we didn't get to see any Great White Sharks, but we did see a bunch of Copper sharks, so it wasn't a bust. The crew was very friendly and informative about sharks and how the Great Whites were being hunted by the Killer Whales
Very early morning start. Visibility was less than a meter. Still, we got right up close with these fantastic creatures.
was picked up on time from hotel was about a 3 hr drive with stop on way, was met a office for shark tour the co was very friendly and looked after us very well,went out on our boat trip got to our shark destination but on way was told we might not see any great white because earlier in week the were orga's in bay so we would not see any great white's' but what we did see were 2 or 3 brown sharks, so out trip was,nt a waste, the boat crew were apsoloutly fantastick i would recommend this tour was worth the money even though we did,nt see any white sharks, we also did see plent of whales
