Great White Shark Cage Diving Expedition
Join us for the ultimate great white shark diving and photography adventure.
Come diving with great white sharks
Join shark photography pro Andy Murch on a special expedition to dive with the ocean’s largest predatory sharks.
The infamous Neptune Islands in South Australia, are the best place in the world to experience great white sharks in their natural habitat. As well as being in the perfect location, our trip is scheduled to coincide with the arrival of the largest numbers of great whites in the Neptune Islands, making this the best white shark encounter on the planet.
Join us there for a white shark adventure you will never forget!
A unique perspective on white sharks
Guests on this trip are not required to have any scuba diving experience or certifications if they limit their diving to the surface cages. White shark cage dives at the surface are thrilling encounters where the sharks approach the cages very closely, sometimes mouth agape for that shot of a lifetime.
Certified divers can descend in the submersible cage to watch and photograph white sharks swimming over the reef; a unique perspective into the secret life of white sharks that you can only enjoy at the Neptune Islands.

Why go cage diving in the Neptune Islands?
With an abundance of white sharks in a beautiful setting, the Neptune Islands are unquestionably the best place in the world to cage dive with great white sharks. At this time, there are very few other places where white shark encounters are even possible. Guadalupe Island has closed indefinitely, South Africa has hit and miss encounters and poor visibility, and the southern tip of New Zealand is very cold and prohibitively remote.
Even if there were other good locations, the opportunity to watch and photograph great white sharks on the sea floor, sets the Neptune Islands apart from any other white shark diving destination.
Swimming with Sea Lions and exploring the Neptunes
This adventure is all about diving with great white sharks, but on your way to the Neptune Islands, you will also have the opportunity to swim with playful Australian sea lions.
The liveaboard also has the only permit to land on the protected Neptune Islands for a little exploration and wildlife viewing after your dive days.

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.

GO. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT!
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!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TIME WITH BIG FISH EXPEDITIONS
Andy is one of the best in the business. I would highly, highly recommend anyone interested in an animal focused trip to go with big fish expeditions.
The quality of experience and knowledge of the trip leader really sets them apart. Expect to get your fill of animals no matter what the trip is. Andy is also great at finding other animals to incorporate within the trips.
If you’re looking for a shark trip or big animal experience, this is your place. Period.
Enjoy!

ANOTHER GREAT ADVENTURE WITH BIG FISH EXPEDITIONS
Just returned from my second trip with BFE and it went off perfectly. The true adventure of these trips always present challenging logistics but they pulled it off flawlessly. I would highly recommend BFE to anyone looking to get “off the grid” and experience a wildlife trip of a lifetime. I am looking forward to my next adventure with them. Thanks again!!
