What our guests are saying about Big Fish Expeditions:

TIGER BEACH 2013

I just returned from a week at Tiger Beach and it did not disappoint. It was nice to see old dive friends, meet new dive friends, and to be in the center of lots of shark action with Dolphins, Tigers, Lemons, and Reef sharks. It was awesome, thanks Andy for another great trip. Now it's off to Cat Island for Oceanic White Tips for a week!

CAT ISLAND 2013

Thank you again for the great trip in Cat island. The experience with Oceanics was amazing and all the organization (diving boat, diving crew-Beto overstanding-, boat, resort) was perfect.
I hope to join you in other expeditions in the future!

WHALE SHARKS 2012

This was the first of 3 bookings I've made with Andy and bigfishexpeditions.com and it certainly turned out to be a safe bet, so I keenly look forward to the next two. I've only had one brief encounter with Whale sharks before and so I was a little concerned as to whether we would find any on the 4 day trip or indeed how long the encounters would be. Well I need not have worried, Day one consisted of whales sharks for 6 hours and if I had gone home after that day I would have been content with the trip, however day 2 (albeit a little slower) and day 3 were also good days but day 4 surpassed even day 1 and the sea was awash with whale sharks, so many that you didn't know which way to turn. I have hundreds of pictures as well as video footage which I'm still trying to go through.
In terms of what the trip promised, it certainly surpassed my expectations. Andy organised the trip well, he is a very likable and laid back individual who is obviously very passionate about what he does and very knowledgeable about the subject. The hotel was located in a prime spot on the beach requiring just a short paddle from the breakfast area to the awaiting boat. Would I go again? yes I certainly would, however I have other places and subjects to experience first so whale sharks will have to wait for a while. Would I recommend this trip? yes definitely and have done so to my friends already! Andy you're going to need a bigger boat!! :)

WHALE SHARKS 2012

I had an amazing time on your expedition and have to say it was one of the best vacations I've taken! Being in the water so close to the whale sharks (and with so many of them) has definitely been one of the coolest things I've been able to experience! Thanks so much for organizing!

WHALE SHARKS 2012

In the deep blue sea and whale sharks everywhere - it was a snorkel adventure of a life time, totally thrilling! Andy's strategy for getting us quality time with these amazing fish was the essence of our success. The trip was just plain wonderful. Great photos, amazing videos, and new friends. Thanks again Andy!

OCEANIC WHITETIPS 2012

This was my third outing with Andy and it was simply awesome. We were hunting photo ops with Oceanic White Tip sharks and Andy came through big time. Our first day we ended up in the water with 12 Oceanics, which was about 11 more than I expected at any one time. We found them every day of the trip. Andy knows where to go, who to take us, and how to do it. If you have limited time like I do, and want to see as much as possible, Andy's trips are perfect. Out of the three trips I've made, we have always seen sharks on every day. This is not to mention the excellent instruction from Andy taking me to a whole new level with my underwater photographic skills.

TIGER BEACH 2012

Our trip to Tiger Beach with Big Fish Expeditions was amazing! From super comfortable accommodations, excellent briefings, informative photo seminars to individual coaching, Andy has covered all the bases. And the sharks, there were hundreds of them including nurse sharks, Caribbean reef sharks, lemon sharks and of course the star of the show - tiger sharks.

RHODE ISLAND SHARK SAFARI 2011

Andy knows all the best spots and all the best people it seems, and I've never before or since spent so much time with so many sharks - and after only a few days. Blues & makos are absolute must-sees, and they're a lot of fun to photograph - highly recommended.

BIG FISH EXPEDITIONS

I have been on 3 Big Fish Expeditions trips by now and have more trips to look forward to in the near future. First of all I share a big passion for sharks, whale and other big marine life and Big Fish Expedition is all about that.
As an amateur photographer is great to be among equals and even better to get new tips and ideas from professionals. Andy is very helpful showing new tricks and talk about UW photography in between dives.
Sure the destinations offers world class diving but it’s also about the people and the relation to people and Andy surely gives everyone the feeling of being very welcome and try to give everyone a lifetime experience.
Another good thing is that Andy is maybe the only pro shooters who offers trips to very reasonable prices.
I won´t go into details about all the good dives I’ve done with Big Fish but instead say GO, you will never regret it!

TIGER BEACH 2011

Thumbs up for Big Fish Expeditions! The tiger shark expedition is an adventure I'll cherish for the rest of my life. A special thanks to Andy for helping me perfect the "lemon snaps"... a series of photos now on my office walls of lemon sharks feeding at the surface that visitors never fail to stare at in fascination. Thank you!

HUMBOLDT SQUID EXPEDITION 2011

We would rather go diving with Andy than with anyone else! His trips are always an adventure and provide far more than expected. He invests the extra time and effort to ensure that everyone is able to see and experience as much as possible ~ even if it takes a little longer than anticipated to catch up with the giant squid! :) On the Sea of Cortez trip, it was nearly impossible to keep up with just how many wonderful sights we shared and on the Malpelo trip, we had such a perfect little group that every day was filled with smiling. Even the hammerheads, white-tips, and small-tooth sand tigers seemed friendly.

TIGER BEACH 2012

Thank you for the recent expedition to Tiger Beach. Had an excellent time with great diving, great people, a great hammerhead and even greater Tiger Sharks.

BIG FISH EXPEDITIONS

I have been on a couple of Big Fish Photography Expeditions trips now. They are always well organized, and exceed my expectations!
Andy puts together unique and action-packed trips. I'm looking forward to my next dive experience with him.

SHARKFEST 2011

Morehead City, NC "Sharkfest"
The coast of North Carolina is one of those places that will make you want to get surgically fitted for gills. So much life, on some beautiful shallow wrecks - and then ther're all those sharks! Andy leads a fun, laid-back itinerary and getting pro-tips from the Master Shark Shooter is a definite plus. If this isn't already on your list, it should be.

SOCORRO 2012

Our trip to Socorro Island was our first trip with Andy. I highly recommend to consider Big Fish Expeditions as your partner for your next dive trip.
We had so much fun, we already booked our next trip with Big Fish and it won\'t be the last one.
