I first did the shark dive with BAD about 8 years ago, and have been bragging about it to my friends ever since. I was stoked to have the opportunity to go again this weekend, and it was just as amazing as (even better than?) I remembered, so I’m glad that my bragging will be able to continue.
There was lots of laughter on the boat and all of the divemasters were very friendly & knowledgeable about the sharks and other fish on the reef.
The shark dive itself felt super safe and was incredible. We saw probably about 10 or so bulls, a few lemons and a whole lot of reef sharks. The bulls are natural entertainers and love dodging at the last moment to snag a good tuna head. You’re a safe distance away but still nice and close to the action – though the divemasters will be sitting behind you with long metal poles to nudge any sharks that are a little too curious away.
The soft coral/wreck dive is perhaps a little less exciting but still fantastic – healthy reefs full of beautiful corals & a big variety of fish (clownfish, groupers, parrot fish, angel fish, triggerfish, lion fish… lots to look at!).
