The merest of ripples will have you scanning the deep, blue waters. The schools of fish, once busy chasing scraps off the stern, suddenly vanish. Now – silent anticipation! Your first encounter with over four hundred million years of evolution is about to come true. And there it is – a lithe, muscular, torpedo-like body rising from the depths; beginning to circle; its approach measured, unhurried, all-powerful; its senses alive, its eye watchful; its dorsal fin breaking the surface as it glides past – an unforgettable moment; your trepidation turning to awe, for to be in the company of such majesty is truly an honor; a life-changing moment beyond your wildest dreams. Apex Shark Expeditions operate licensed, eco-friendly cage diving trips, focused on introducing you to these incredible animals and providing an understanding with a strong conservation message.
