Join Trip Leaders Chad and Janna Binder for an exciting trip focused great white shark encounters.

We offer a rich and natural shark encounter experience on these trips by descending down to 30 feet where great white sharks naturally spend their time.

Without chum these great whites are more relaxed, exhibit much more curiosity, and come in much closer to the cages.
