Tiger Beach Shark Diving
Tiger Beach was moved from it’s original site to deeper reef site called “Fish Tales”.
Fish Tales is the prime location for Tiger Beach and the Dolphin Dream, where we will do 4 dives per day including shark feeding dives. We alternate our dives between structured Tiger Shark feeding dives and non-feeding dives where you can swim around the Tiger Sharks and reef area. The white sand bottom of the dive site sits at 50 feet (15m) with the reef coming up to 30 feet (10m). Visibility can be great at times with 200 feet (60m) clarity, plus bright sunshine and white sand make for great pictures. The current is usually mild tidal flow. The average count of sharks is 5-7 Tiger Sharks, 15 +/- Lemon Sharks, 20+ Reef Sharks, a few Nurse Sharks and the occasional Bull Shark. Five different species and well over 40 sharks, on just one dive! It doesn’t get any better.
