TOP TIPS BEFORE YOU GO:
1. Go in the morning when the water is calmest.
2. Bring motion sickness pills, waves do get rough!
3. Bring your own snorkel if you have one, unless you’re okay to use one that has already been in other people’s mouths.
4. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen and bring towel to dry off! (Well, this is common sense but just in case!)
5. There are NO BATHROOMS on the boat, relieve yourselves before boarding!
6. You can get pushed around while in the cage and get banged in the cage bars. (Nothing you can’t handle though; big girls don’t cry!)
7. SWIMMING SKILLS NOT REQUIRED! You can hang onto the edge of the cage the whole time!
8. Bring your underwater camera, there are tons of sharks to film!
9. Don’t read about cage diving death rates before you go. This is a terrible idea! (Yes. I did, that’s why I was so terrified to book! It’s SAFE, okay?)
10. You’ll get an “I SWAM WITH SHARKS” certificate! So, don’t rush out of the boat after the tour! And please, TIP the crew! (NUFF.SAID)
I have faced my fears and now I have a story to tell all my life! Now it’s your turn! Not a lot of people can say that they’ve had a face to face encounter with Sharks! Be the first one among your friends!
This truly is an absolute must do while in Hawaii! Just go & do it fam! You’ll surely love it!
