I had to go to the hospital after my Hawaii Shark Encounter but you will have to read more of this review to discover what happen... My daughter (age 23), hubby & I (mid-'50s) visited Oahu for 9 days from June 3-13,2009 so we just recently returned home. On July 9, 2009 we had scheduled our 10:30 Shark Encounter and even visited the North Shore on our way to visit Turtle Bay the day before so we would know exactly where to be...that was how concerned I was NOT to miss this adventure! My hubby was a bit excited but I knew he would be more so once he was actually in the cage with the sharks. My daughter, on the other hand, is intensely afraid of sharks...can't even watch Shark Week on TV and has nightmares about them. When she was a young teen she witnessed my nephew catching one at sea (on a boat) and though they didn't bring the shark on board, they did bring it up next to the boat and my daughter had an anxiety attack and has been deathly afraid of them since. I couldn't wait to get in the cage and planned months in advance to have exactly what I would need to take the best photos and videos I could. I bought a protective waterproof case for my flip video camera (worked great) and I packed a good underwater camera also...plus, my digital for up top shots. Also I made sure the night before that all my batteries were charged and ready to go. Though they have goggles and snorkle tubes on board, I did pack a perscription goggle with tube I own. No need to bring flippers...it's too difficult to do the ladder with them. Also on board, they have cleaning solution for the goggles if needed. They are very prepared on the boat. We arrived at the site about 15 minutes early and I scanned the harbor, hardly believing that soon I would be in the water with real live sharks. Finally I saw the boat coming back and looked earnestly at the participants getting off the boat...where there high 5's, smiles, anyone looking sick, people coming off in stretchers...I wanted to gleam a bit of their experience so I asked some of them. Sure enough, everyone I asked had an awesome time so I was even more psyched! My daughter...more nervous than ever. We finally got our turn to climb aboard and were given instructions immediately on how to do it safely. Once in, we stored our gear and signed our life away on necessary forms, and were shown photos of the typical kinds of sharks we would see. The crew (capt and mate) also went over safety issues and "if you are going to be sea-sick" issues. Much was said about the rockiness of the boat out at sea...so everyone was told to stay seated or hold on securely to the hand braces around the boat. On the ride out and as each of 2 groups waits their turn in the cage, the crew educates everyone on the plight of these amazing creatures and answers any concerns you might have or questions you have. We head out to sea for about 15 minutes and I am straining to see the cage first and then it appears bobbing in the open ocean. We tie up to it and the crew brings it along side the boat. It doesn't take long to see the shadows under the water and "fins" skimming by. One crew member taps the water with a fishing rod to spark their attention and it works; The shadows lumber through the water like puppies sniffing the ground for food but these are no puppies. A small fish snack is thrown on on a line and as soon as it hits the water the "fins" turn and go for it and as the lure is pulled in....the "fins" charge it...fast enough you realize, these can be aggressive animals when they want. No puppies here gang. Care is given again on how to safely enter and exit the cage and the first group goes in. I can hardly stand it but we wait as my daughter is still very reluctant to even look at the sea! I will tell you a 65 yr old woman was in the first group. She was hesitant too but was the last one in...and do you know...she was the last one out! I had to tell her to scoot in (kiddingly) but grand old gal was having a fantastic time in the cage and just didn't want to come out. She reluctantly got out (smiling all the while) and I congratulated her as I started to climb in (first one-yippee!) I immediately went to the front of the cage on the opposite side from the boat and positioned myself in the corner (one side bars and one side the clear viewing window). I held on with my left hand on the bar, video flip camera in my right hand and braced my knees under the second bar with my tooties gripping the bottom bar and lowered my head in the water.......... WOW WOW WOW! Right in front of me...sharks to the left and to the right...and all I hear is quiet and the slushing of the waves...just me and the sharks...whoaaaaaa it was wayyyyyyyyy cool! Hubby joined me soon and was digging the experience but I noticed my daughter on the boat messing with her equipment and a crew person was helping her. Finally I looked back at her again and couldn't believe it, but she was actually coming down the ladder INTO THE CAGE! She scooted over by me and she tells me (later) it took her 10 minutes to open her eyes and she kept her body in a fetal position (feet up) but after 10 minutes...she too was looking all over keeping track of the sharks and taking it all in. I was sooooooo happy she did it and still, today, 2 weeks later, she can't believe she really did it! I will say it is easier staying in the corner than just on the side...you can brace yourself a bit better, especially if you are trying to hold on to a camera. I had read many reviews on this activity and one person mentioned it felt like you were in a washing machine and I will have to agree with that assessment. Once the cage is given some space from the boat, the waves really do churn you up and down and holding on is not so hard, but holding on with one hand, and trying to film these remarkable creatures the best you can (as a novice) is really tough! Other than knowing that my daughter and hubby were in the cage with me...I was not at all aware of the other folks in there with us...4 others actually. I think we all were in our own little worlds with this incredible experience. After about 20 minutes I do get a bit chilled snorkeling where ever and I did get a bit chilled before the 5 minute warning was called out. But I stuck my head under the water again to film because I knew chilled or not, this was a once in a lifetime shot of visiting these animals in their natural surrounding...so what if I was cold, it was worth it! Finally we got the word our time was up and since I was the first in, I chose (reluctantly) to be the first out and was I stoked with happiness getting out of the cage....WOW! I was busting with pride that my daughter did actually get in the cage and enjoyed the experience (will the nightmares stop now?). I felt it empowered her and will help her go for things that seem difficult more easily now. My hubby enjoyed it immensely and was even more delighted that our daughter made it a family affair. Going back to the dock everyone chatted up about how wonderful it was and what they saw and enjoyed most. Being the camera nut I am, I braced myself againt the steering wheel column and was getting my video camera ready to film footage of our way back out the front windows. That's when it happen....we hit a wave and I started to lean back all the while eyeballing the handle bar on the front window and trying desparately to reach out for it. I knew I was flying back and I was afraid I was going to hit someone behind me and hurt them but luckily I didn't hit anyone, instead I reared back and hit the fiberglass sitting area behind me and a metal bar near the floor with the back of my head (left side). I really smacked it but kept conscious the whole time. Once I was down, the crew and others helped me sit up and of course asked me if I was ok which I thought I was, though I knew I really hit hard. I didn't have a headache or bump but then they said there was blood and the crew immediately went into action to help me. I felt fine but pressure was applied and Chris, the Captain was quick to call the Coast Guard and relay the mishap. All they way back to port attention was given to me to make sure I was ok, acting normal, etc. I told Chris I didn't want an ambulance and that we would check at a fire station or med center to look at it once we got back to shore. The crew filled out forms, stayed in touch with Coast Guard the whole way...they were attentive, concerned and in my opinion, handling the situation in an A+ manner. Plus they followed up on me that day and the next...Coast Guard did too. Now...we approach the dock and the next group to go out is sitting and waiting for us to come in and here I am, hair bloodied and matted and daughter, hubby, 2 crewman and some of our groups all giving me attention. I was fine to walk off the boat toward where the next group was sitting and I had to tell them, "look...it wasn't the shark that drew blood...it was my own stupid fault for not holding on when the boat is under way...so HOLD ON!"....and then we left to get me checked out. To make the rest of this story shorter...I did end up going to the hospital and the doc glued my small surface would shut. I did end up surfing Waikiki 3 days later with my daughter and that too was a thrilling feat sharing it with her. I know if she had not gone in the cage, she would have not gone out to surf with me so the cage experience gave me a very special time with her on Waikiki that I will remember forever. To Chris and his firstmate...you guys were great...and, btw, I love your Mom's shop in North Shore (just to the right of Matsumoto's). I am doing fine, my glue has since fallen off, no bump on my head and I would do it all over again (except hold on this time) in a heart beat! To all of you who read this review and are squimish about getting in with sharks...my daughter over came the fear and you can too. The scariest thing you bring in the cage with you is your fear...so leave it on the boat and immerse yourself in the quiet wonder of these awesome...did I say awesome...animals. Just DO IT! One last comment...I LOVE MY SHARK PICS & VIDEOS and keep watching and looking at them again and again!

I went yesterday for the shark cage dive with Hawaii Shark Encounters and it was a lot of fun! The tour was at 10:30am and let me tell you it was REALLY bumpy ride (and dive)! It is easy to find the boat on the Haleiwa harbor, it's located right in the middle. The crew was nice and friendly and they were very knowledgeable about sharks and other marine life so ask them all your questions! The short boat ride to the cage was really bumpy, you had to hold on to not fall or hit something. The cage was bouncing like crazy in the ocean and I hit my head once on the side of the cage, so be careful! The visibility was great (if you could hold on steady enough) and we got to see many Reef Sharks swimming around and under us. To be honest it wasn't very scary even though I'm terrified of sharks, the cage feels, well, like a cage and you feel protected. The masks they gave us were great, never fogged up on me! After the dive, when you get back on board all cold the crew showers everybody with hot fresh water! It is the best feeling to get hot shower after 30 min in cold water!!! The ride back to shore is much harder on you, because you've been bouncing in the water for a long time and on the boat, many people felt a bit sick on the ride back. I never get sea sick but I did take the motion sickness medicine just in case and I was very glad I did! Even with medicine I felt a bit sick. PROS: -lots of sharks -safe cage -short ride from shore -HOT SHOWER -great visibility -knowledgeable and friendly crew -great location (Haleiwa is a fun town to visit!) CONS: -expensive ($105/person before taxes) -very bumpy ride (depending on the weather) -not much variety (we saw only one kind of shark - Reef Shark) -too crowded in the cage (we had 6 people in cage and I kept bumping in all my neighbors)

So glad we did this!!! Once in a lifetime experience. We went on the first tour on 12/4/08, checking in at 6:30am it was still dark but watching the sun come up as we rode out into the ocean was beautiful. Went that early because I read the waves get bigger later, and I really didn't want to get seasick! It was perfect, I'll post a photo of me climbing into the cage from the boat, and then me and the sharks. One of the staff told us when we first got in to look down to see the sharks coming up from the depths, make sure you do that, its amazing, more and more of them coming up and then circling the cage. One even ran into the cage (gently bumped it) going after some of the cut up fish they throw in the water.... though it felt like he was going after our toes! Two of the staff were free diving outside the cage with the sharks, made for some great photos. Back on the boat after 40 minutes was perfect as by then we were cold - and appreciative of the warm water hose they offered, and happy we brought big towels & jackets. One of the staff then hand fed the sharks off the boat, so they were coming up out of the water biting the fish in his hands, huge teeth within inches of him!! I was a bit concerned before we booked this about picking the 'right' shark viewing company, of the two available. The staff weren't overly friendly, but were polite, and the one who fed the sharks offered to answer any shark questions we had, and gave quite detailed interesting answers. If I'm ever back on Oahu with my 10 year old nephew, I'm definitely doing this again.
