Shark Cage Dive - Diver Training Included
- Duration: 1 Days (approx.)
- Location: Bluff, Southland
No Dive Experience? For those who aren’t certified divers, we offer training on board our vessel the day of the trip. Once we arrive at the dive site, we hold the “Introduction to Underwater Diving” session with new divers with our Dive Lead.
The introduction covers the basic equipment use, safety info and how to use a regulator ( Surface Air Supply). Its designed to make people comfortable and capable while in the Shark cage.
Enjoy the sights of Foveaux Strait for approximately 45 minutes while heading south toward Stewart Island. Once anchored off Edwards Island, it’s time to watch our Safety Video and change into Dive gear before we all start “Shark Watch”. Our Dive Guide will take you through the Introduction to Dive Session and then its time for the cage!
Up to five people at a time will enter the cage for up to 20 minutes for their first entry, until everyone has had time in the shark cage using the surface air supply regulators from the vessel.
Following the first dive, divers can visit the cage as often as they like. Our experienced crew will provide a commentary on the southern Great White Sharks and local wildlife.
