DIVE ADVICE TRAVEL - Tiger Sharks

A Note from Dom

The reports continue to be fantastic from our November charters on Dolphin Dream in the Bahamas. We've been doing these Tiger Shark trips, with Tiger Shark photographer Wolfgang Leander since 2008.

One diver actually wrote to say that the experience was life-changing. To be in the water with these enormous & powerful creatures and to have no fear of them, to find nothing but peace & beauty in the "air" was astonishing . . . and to quote another diver, it was like "sacred meditation".

For more details see below and don't hesitate to contact me directly to chat about what to expect.

But first, to whet your appetite, you may want to check out the fabulous video shot on last our 2008 trip by David Ulloa of Valleo Films. And, much gratitude to David for the ethereal shot of the Tiger, above on the left!

Cheers, Dom

Trip Details

We will stay at Tiger Beach, which is by far the best location to have constant shark action, day and night. There are always at least 15 - 20 beautiful 6 - 7,5 ft lemon sharks around - ALL the time - and tigers, of course. Last November a dive group had as a special bonus "Julia" with them - a stunningly elegant 8 ft Great Hammerhead girl who was there 4 days, 4 nights non-stop! Even though we cannot guarantee future shark encounters in the strict sense of the word, we can state this: so far, our success rate has been 100%.

No dolphins, no turtles, no trying out other spots where chances are you might not see any sharks. Tiger Beach is simply the best spot in the area, According to many experienced shark divers, Tiger Beach ranks among the best shark dives WORLD-WIDE - some consider it simply the best.

For videos and still photographs Tiger Beach is just fantastic!! Clear water and - an underwater sand beach which makes for incredibly clean and graphic photographs.
