If you are thinking about diving with sharks, Australia might not be the first place that comes into mind. But you can actually find some great shark diving in Australia.
Australia is the place for everything from a simple one-day aquarium shark dive to a several-day live-aboard scuba shark diving expedition. It is also possible to try cage diving.
Have you always wanted to try scuba diving among wobbygong sharks and grey nurse sharks? Then you should head to South West Rocks; voted as one of the ten best scuba dive sites in Australia. The area is rarely affected by current and you can dive close to steep walls to an average depth of 30 meters.
But if you want the largest thrill of them all, a great white shark dive, you do not have to go to South Africa. Australia is a superb place for this special kind of scuba diving.
If you want to try great white shark cage diving in Australia, one option is to go on a shark scuba diving expedition from Sydney. But the main departure point for great white shark cage dives is Port Lincoln and Adelaide in South Australia.
Both places are great departure points from live-aboard expeditions to great white shark diving spots. From either Adelaide or Port Lincoln you sail to the Southern Ocean around the Neptune Islands. And even though you are doing the trip to see the great white shark, you can also find a lot of other interesting animals like dolphins, fur seals and many bird species. Even the beautiful and rare Australian sea lion can be seen around the islands.
So if you never have tried a great white shark cage dive and you are on vacation in Australia, you have the option to try it for the first time.
If you are not into several days of shark diving expeditions, a more easy way to dive with sharks are in an aquarium. Australia has several places to do that; like Melbourne, Sydney and the Sunshine Coast.
Normally you are offered an introduction to diving (if you are not a certified diver). Certified scuba diver can normally skip the pool practice. After the practice and introduction to the sharks, you are brought down in the big tanks. Often it is also possible to feed the sharks. And your family can watch you from the outside.
So if you think a great white shark dive is a little too thrilling and difficult, an aquarium shark dive is a great way to see those amazing animals close up.
If you are going to Australia, you can have a great shark dive; no matter if you choose the ultimate great white shark dive or a more normal aquarium shark dive. - 31489
