Shark Diving and Snorkeling in Florida

Whether you're a certified diver or prefer to stay at the surface, our shark excursions offer a rare chance to see some of the ocean’s most iconic species in their natural environment. From calm snorkel encounters to deep water scuba dives, we provide safe, respectful experiences with sharks off Florida’s East Coast — guided by professionals who know these waters inside and out.

Shark Diving in Florida

Florida’s East Coast is known for its remarkable shark diversity, thanks to the nearby Gulf Stream and warm Atlantic waters. This region offers one of the best opportunities anywhere to encounter a wide range of shark species while diving.

Possible sightings include Tiger, Bull, Lemon, Dusky, Silky, Sandbar, Blacktip, Nurse, Caribbean Reef, Great Hammerhead, Scalloped Hammerhead and occasionally, some unexpected guests.

Our shark dives take place roughly 3 miles offshore in deep blue water. Visibility often falls between 40 to over 100 feet, with water temperatures ranging from the low 70s in winter to the mid 80s in the summer creating consistently favorable conditions for shark diving throughout the year.

We run 3-tank shark diving trips led by our experienced crew, focused on delivering a safe and unforgettable experience. These dives are designed to give you the opportunity to observe sharks up close with full respect for the animals and their environment. Lunch is provided on board to keep you fueled between dives.

Shark Snorkeling Excursions

You don’t need to be scuba certified to experience the excitement of seeing sharks in the wild. Our shark snorkeling trips offer a opportunity for surface level encounters with some of the ocean’s most iconic and important species all from the comfort of the water’s surface.

These excursions take place in clear, deep blue offshore waters, where visibility typically ranges from 40 to 100 feet and conditions are ideal for viewing sharks from above. While you float at the surface, our experienced crew works below to bring the sharks in safely and respectfully.

Common sightings include reef sharks, silkies, sandbars, and occasionally larger species like bull or hammerhead sharks. 

All snorkelers are accompanied by a professional guide to ensure a safe, fun, and relaxed time in the water. This is one of the most accessible and awe-inspiring ways to connect with sharks in their natural environment.
