environment. The depths of the ocean floor cage vary but average 18m, so you

these experiences. No certificate is needed for surface cage diving.

Safety Briefing,
Crew Introduction, Necessary Dive Paperwork, Cabin allocation and ship

is a sample itinerary and number of dives, dive sites, including a swim with
sealions etc. may be subject to change due to weather conditions and other unforeseeable
factors.

DAY 2

·   
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 SCUBA divers
descend deeper in our submersible cage.

·   
diving guests in
the ocean floor cage. We also like to hop in the tender boat, check out the
New 

·   
Zealand Fur Seals
and go walking around the Neptune Islands. Here, there

·   
are many bird
species to watch and the elusive Australian Sea Lions can

·   
also sometimes be
spotted. More shark talks in the evening and then time for bed ready for the
next day’s big adventure.

DAY 3

·   
More time with the
great whites viewing topside, in the surface cage or down on the ocean floor
and by now your shark identification skills will be finely tuned.

·   
The evening brings
more opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Neptune Islands,
listening to the sounds of the seals with a chilled glass of white. There is
plenty time to chill out and rest. Hit the hay when you feel like it.

DAY 4

·   
More time to spend
Surface and Ocean Floor diving – there is no time limit 

·   
in the cages, if
everyone has their fair share. You can also do 

·   
some Shark and
Wildlife watching from the observation deck, relax with a

·   
book – anything
that floats your boat. Leave the 

·   
Depart Neptune
