Best Scuba Diving Destinations With Sharks

1. Fish Rock Cave, Australia
Located off the east coast of Australia, the 125 metre long Fish Rock Cave is home to some of the most sought after marine life in the world. It is renowned for its high number of grey nurse sharks who reside here all year round, so swimming with these graceful creatures is almost a guarantee. In the summer months, grey nurse sharks rest in the shallow end of the cave, making for fantastic diving.

2. Beqa lagoon, Fiji
On the edge of the Beqa Lagoon is a section of protected reef known as the Shark Reef Marine Reserve, now home to a bull shark tagging programme that monitors their behaviour and ecology. The bull sharks share their home with seven other species of shark, including tiger sharks, silvertips and gray reefs, as well as giant groupers and eagle rays.

3. Tiger Beach, Bahamas
The Bahamas are arguably the shark diving capital of the world. Tiger Beach on Grand Bahama has become a shark swimming hotspot as it is a prime location to see tiger sharks. The sharks live in the shallow waters over an immense sandbank and come in close proximity to divers. It is not strictly a natural encounter as the dive instructors use bait to attract them. However, it does offer a great chance to get up close and personal to the 16-foot predators. A diving experience in Tiger Beach can easily be incorporated into a private cruise or a luxury yacht charter in the North Bahamas. If you want the opportunity to be involved in helping to protect sharks in the area Miami Fleet is offering a scientific learning expedition on board superyacht Usher.

4. Moorea, French Polyneisa
The French Polynesian waters play host to a variety of different species of sharks. The most common are blacktip reef sharks which can be easily identified by the black tips on each fin.
Although curious all the sharks inside the lagoons are predominately non-aggressive unless provoked. If you anchor your superyacht in Moorea it is possible to swim with stingrays and sharks in their natural environment without even using a guide. The abundent sea life is just one of many reasons to consider discovering French Polynesia on a superyacht.

5. South Mahé, Seychelles
If you want to experience swimming with whale sharks then South Mahé in the Seychelles is one of the best places in the world to have the opportunity. The island is on the migratory path of these majestic beasts. The season usually starts in September and runs until November, with peak sightings during October each year. A diving expedition to try and swim with the illusive whale shark can be incorporated as part of seven days exploring the Seychelles on a superyacht.

6. Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
The Galapagos Islands are synonymous with environmental protection and a plethora of wildlife and this is also the case for its shark population. Regularly voted as the best diving location in the world the Galapagos offer the opportunity to get up close with scalloped hammerhead sharks, Galapagos sharks, and sometimes even whale sharks. As the name would suggest, one of the best places to view sharks is Shark Point, off Wolf Island. There are no land visits to this island and the dive site is only for experienced divers.

7. Rhode Island, USA
As well as boasting some of the best shipwreck dives in the world Rhode Island also offers blue and mako shark expeditions. Named after their radiant colour, blue sharks migrate thousands of miles each year but in certain areas come close to the shoreline. Encounters with the sharks usually don’t involve scuba diving kit but a full wetsuit is required along with a hood, gloves, mask, fins and snorkel. Shark season in Rhode Island runs from June through to August.

8. Cocos Islands, Costa Rica

9. Monad Shoal, Philippines
