Staff was amazing. they have been working together for years and really
like each other so they are happy and very efficient.They could not have
been nicer. Food was excellent,(thanks Randy). rooms were a little small
but there was lots and lots of space on the boat.
on our checkout dive(cage) we had a 12 foot great white show up and for the
next 3 days we had more and more with the big daddy being 14ft and 3000
pounds. he was named Spot.the bait was pulled closer to the cages by the
surface support crew when a shark came near to give us a better close-up. I
took over 1000 photos and 50 video clips. sometimes the sharks bumped the
cages. the operation is very,very safe. we climbed into the cage and
watched sharks circling while the underwater speakers and bait kept the
sharks close by. We loved this so much we are chartering the whole boat
next fall to bring our friends. the submersible cage was exciting. this
cage is lowered 20 feet below the boat so you can get a different look and
an additional thrill. Scott Davis was in this cage with one diver to be the
eyes in the back of you. This operation is for any shark lover, any non
diver who would like to see sharks close up and any photographer.  we also
had a couple mako sharks come by, dolphins and a turtle. Great place to get
engaged also. Now we have a story to top all others on any dive boat.
