Heads up: this is an independent, unofficial guide — not the operator’s official website. Trip details, seasons, and any prices are general/illustrative and may be out of date. Always confirm current itineraries with SD Shark Diving and book only through the operator.
A great expedition starts well before you reach the water. Here’s a general checklist — the operator gives the authoritative list for your specific trip.
Before You Book
- Confirm certification requirements (some cage trips need none; others need scuba certification)
- Check the season and what’s realistic to encounter
- Understand travel logistics to the departure point
Before You Go
- Valid passport and any required travel documents
- Appropriate exposure protection for water temperature
- A seasickness plan for crossings
- Travel and dive insurance as recommended by the operator
Inherent risk: diving, snorkeling, and in-water wildlife encounters carry inherent risks that cannot be eliminated. Nothing here is training, medical, or safety advice. Always dive within your certification, follow professional guidance, and rely on the operator’s own safety briefings.
