Welcome to Shark Safaris


Shark Safaris is an eco-oriented expedition organiser specialising in encounters with the world's most highly evolved marine predators - sharks!


We organise and lead diving expeditions to the furthest reaches of the planet to see these beautiful creatures in their own environment. Our primary aim is to dispel the myth of sharks as ruthless man-eaters and to emphasise the need for their conservation through education and encounter.


We run regular expeditions to many global destinations including Southern Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean. We also plan, organise and lead bespoke expeditions for groups and film crews with more specific requirements - contact us for more information.



Tiger Shark Diving... for Beginners - April 2008

In April, a team of intrepid and adventurous guys - with no diving experience at all - spent a week in South Africa training to dive with the ultimate marine predators - tiger sharks. After the training, the week climaxed in two days of adrenaline-intensive, sense-shearing, open water shark encounters.
