Observe some huge toothy creatures from the safety of a shark cage
Other than watching surfers tackle the 20-foot surf at Pipeline during the winter, diving with sharks on Oahu has become one of the North Shore’s most adrenaline-pumping visitor activities. Departing out of Haleiwa small boat harbor a number of professional shark outfitters provide all the essentials such as dive gear, a boat, and a huge metal cage. Motoring three miles into the big blue Pacific the end result is being able to sit safely behind a poly glass window and watch as Sandbar, Galapagos, and occasionally larger sharks satisfy their curiosity by paying you a visit.
In addition to providing a thrilling experience these companies aim to educate their guests on the realities of shark dangers and the alarming rate at which sharks are disappearing. Passengers get to learn about these toothy beauties as they motor out into the royal blue waters and then feel the excitement once they drop into a metal cage to witness the glide, grace, and impressive speed of what are perhaps the ocean’s least understood species.
Many people seem to think, however, that you need to be a certified diver or a longtime ocean professional to do something as crazy as cage diving with sharks. On the contrary, anyone who chooses to go diving with sharks on Oahu simply needs to know how to swim and be comfortable with a basic set of mask, snorkel and fins. You don’t need to go down deep, and you don’t even have to go further down than your snorkel can reach in order to experience the unsettling sensation of looking your worst ocean fear straight in the eye.
