But if you want even more excitement you can try the largest thrill of them all: great white shark diving. And instead of going to the more well-known place South Africa, you can do this special type of scuba diving in Australia.

Those two places are the main departure points for live-aboard great white shark cage dives. From here you head out into the clear blue waters of the Southern Ocean to the Neptune Islands. The main attraction is the great white shark, but you will also see many bird species, dolphins, thousands of fur seals, and the beautiful and rare Australian sea lion.

So if you are on vacation in Australia and you have never tried a cage dive among great white sharks, Australia is a great place to try it for the first time.

A more easy and convenient way to dive with sharks is an aquarium shark dive. Australia has several places, where to can do this kind of shark diving. Sydney, Melbourne and the Sunshine Coast are the best places.

After the practice and introduction to the sharks, you are brought down in the big tanks. Often it is also possible to feed the sharks. And your family can watch you from the outside.
