The Shear Water offers expert-led briefings to enhance every dive. Guests can expect a communal and friendly atmosphere, with top-tier guidance from a National Geographic photographer on board to help capture the best possible shark imagery. Between dives, guests can relax in shared spaces designed for storytelling and reviewing incredible underwater encounters.
The Shear Water offers expeditions to Tiger Beach, where divers can encounter tiger, bull, great hammerheads, lemon, Caribbean reef, and nurse sharks without feeding them. The focus is on natural interactions, teaching divers how to "make friends" with sharks while contributing to conservation efforts, including removing fishing hooks.
