Adventure Bay Charters
Cage-dive with great white sharks or swim with sea lions and tuna on eco-accredited day trips out of Port Lincoln, the shark-cage-diving capital of Australia.
Port Lincoln is the only place in Australia where you can cage-dive with great white sharks, and Adventure Bay Charters runs eco-accredited trips out to the Neptune Islands where the big predators gather. The operator pioneered a sound-and-bait method that avoids berleying the water with blood.
Not ready to meet a great white? Other day trips let you swim with playful Australian sea lions and snorkel beside southern bluefin tuna in a sea pen. It is bucket-list wildlife territory, run with a strong conservation ethos and a deep knowledge of the Spencer Gulf waters.

Where can you cage-dive with great white sharks in Australia?
Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula is the only place in Australia where you can cage-dive with great white sharks. Trips run out to the Neptune Islands, where the sharks naturally gather near seal and sea lion colonies.
Do you need a diving licence to cage-dive with sharks?
No. Cage diving is done from a surface cage with air supplied from the boat, so no scuba certification is required. Most people can take part, though minimum age and health conditions may apply — check with the operator.

Great whites can be seen year-round at the Neptune Islands, though sightings and numbers vary with the seasons and conditions. Operators can advise on recent activity when you book.
