This was an absolutely incredible experience! Getting to be so close to these amazing creatures and learn more about them was so cool. The staff made us feel so comfortable and made sure we were warm after coming out of the chilly water. From the ride out to the dive site, to the hot chocolate and soup afterwards, everything was great. Highly recommend Marine Dynamics to anyone who wants a fun and unique shark experience!

A lot of time and hassle to see very little. Wouldn't recommend. White shark almost extinct in the region.

It was great to see the sharks up close in the cage! Great experience! We weren't prepared for how cold the Atlantic sea was going to be so maybe some gloves would have been helpful.
