  • Florida Shark Diving! We went on a free swim (no cage!) and saw dozens of sharks, including Bull Sharks, a Sandbar shark, and tons of Caribbean Reef Sharks. We went with the crew from floridasharkdiving.com out of Jupiter Fl and had an absolute blast!

    I'm trying to get my parents to take us to do this. While I had assumed we'd be in a cage, the fact that we won't makes it so much cooler and now I want to do it even more!
    Problem is, this may scare my parents even more.....

    It hurts my heart seeing those sharks with hooks stuck in them and fishing lines coming off them. We need to do everything we can to preserve this beautiful and docile species

    So yesterday I am at a cookout and my buddies and I plan a trip to Florida in October. One of my buddies says we have to dive with sharks in Jupiter. I am like okay. Thinking cage... he is like no cage. This is insane Bull Sharks are like the Pit Bull of sharks. I can’t believe I am watching this.

      It depends on who you go out with, in this video, they didn't want you straying too far from the rope, but I went again (a few months ago) and they were very strict about having to basically stay on the rope the whole time.

      Over the course of an hour, there were:
      A couple of Caribbean Reef sharks, no Lemons, a few Sandbar sharks and about four of five Bulls. No Tigers or Great Hammerheads unfortunately.
      We did see a few Lemons the following year, unfortunately visibility wasn't as good and uploading a video wouldn't be worth the work.

      @@wcsdiaries Hahaha, I definitely understand your concern Jack, but this company has been operating for over a decade, with three dives almost every day of the year. Each dive has between 4 - 12 people, so it is safe to say they have taken at least 40,000 people shark diving, and nobody has even been injured by a shark. They do a good job of explaining why you are much more likely to be bitten when in shallow water.

      @@wcsdiaries No not at all, they are more scared of humans than we were of them, and I was pretty terrified when I first got into the water. They might swim close, but we are not in their food chain so they don't try biting or eating us.
      It literally felt like we had a bunch of puppy dogs swimming around us. They were eating fish and chum but they had no interest in us.
