This expedition is perfect for people who’d like to spend a large amount of time immersed
in the world of the Great White Shark. All guests are able to get up-close and personal with
Great Whites in our Surface Cage. This itinerary will include special presentations and will also have a chance for some
incredible topside photography and shore access. 

Day 1

Make your way to Marina Hotel by 10:00 AM for departure at 10:30 AM. 

You’ll be shown to your cabins where you can unload before the formal introductions and safety talk, then depart for Hopkins Island!

At Hopkins Island we look ward to snorkel or dive with Australian sea lions or simply watch from the tender boat cruise. We can also look for another inner coastal location to have a shore-based excursion around a remote rugged part of the Port Lincoln National Park.

Later that day we either depart for the Neptune Islands (our destination) or find a photographic location to enjoy the sunset before further photographic coaching and presentations.

 Day 2

Cameras at the ready, or enjoy the morning with a cuppa, it’s worth getting up at daybreak, before a hearty breakfast is served.

We plan to Anchor at the best location at Neptune Islands where we hope to spot a few early dorsal fins. 

Divers are briefed, and the Surface Cage hits the water, ready for action. Our priority is for everyone to see the sharks in the surface cage before we descend deeper with our SCUBA diving guests in the ocean floor cage.

After the exhilaration of the sharks, there is time to relax, unwind, talk about the day while feasting on the buffet.

Then check out the amazing night-sky, download images and we will be on hand to help with any questions.

Day 3-5

Diving resumes in the Surface Cage and with the Ocean Floor Cage for SCUBA divers. More time to spend Surface and Ocean Floor diving – there is no time limit in the cages, as long as everyone has their fair share. You can also do some Shark and Wildlife watching from the observation deck. We also like to hop in the tender boat, check out the large Fur Seal colonies and go walking around the Neptune Islands. Here, there are many bird species to watch the elusive Australian Sea Lions can also sometimes be spotted.

Day 6
You'll be a professional shark spotter by now! More time to spend underwater with the sharks for your competition entries and help the crew identify every unique shark that we see for entry into the Fox Shark Research Foundation ID database. Some sharks are easy to spot with distinctive markings and maybe you'll be the one to spot a brand-new shark visiting us for the first time. Diving will be in the surface cage, ocean floor cage and of course more topside viewing to get that real perspective on their size against the surface cage. More time for dive image selections to share with others 

Alternatively, with group consensus the final afternoon might also be spend with a further Australian sea lion dive. 

Arrive Port Lincoln to disembark by 8:PM for transfer to local hotels and/or restaurants* Itinerary order is subject to change with shark activity and weather.
