About this dive site
This dive site offers a unique opportunity to encounter blue sharks in their natural offshore habitat. The diving takes place far from the coast, reaching depths of up to 500 meters. Due to the shy nature of these creatures, chum is necessary to attract them closer to the boat. This is a drift dive, and depth should be limited to 15 meters. While blue sharks are commonly sighted, there’s also a chance of spotting makos or even oceanic hammerheads – though sightings of these rarer species are infrequent.
