Whale shark diving holidays

We offer 4 Whale shark diving holidays. Dive with these gentle giants, the biggest living fish in the sea, in their natural environment of the warm, tropical waters of Thailand, Australia and the Indian Ocean. Our whale shark diving holidays are a once in a lifetime experience and many of our whale shark holidays help conservation and aid research. Far safer than diving with other sharks, whale sharks are filter feeders that eat plankton and krill. Whale shark diving does not require a cage or bait so it’s a far more natural marine experience.

Whale Shark diving conservation in Seychelles
Most exciting was 5 days of going out with the whale sharks - all equally brilliant and completely different experiences and behaviour each day. Getting into the water the first time and seeing the giants in the flesh was unforgettable. (more)

Whale Shark Diving

Whale shark diving is very popular as the Whale Shark is the biggest fish in the sea, reaching up to 18m in length, and is usually found in warm, tropical waters. There is little known about this graceful creature, which is supposed to have originated 60 million years ago. Many people go on whale shark scuba diving holidays which contribute to its conservation as it is currently listed as a vulnerable species and is frequently targeted by commercial fisheries.

Great white shark diving holidays are also sought after by those looking for the ultimate thrill. The Great White Shark is a predator, preying mainly on seals, and is found in the coastal surface waters in all major oceans. Great White Shark diving involves cage diving which offers you the unforgettable experience of having Great Whites swim around and above you.

Make sure your dive doesn’t destroy what you’ve come to see. It's a privilege to be able to enter and experience the magical underwater world. However coral reefs around the world are under extreme threat, and if we want to ensure that our kids can enjoy the same wonderful experiences then we need to dive responsibly.
