Atlantic Shark Expeditions

Arguably the crew's favorite species to encounter on our expeditions - the Blue Shark - sleek, fast, and curious.

Fun fact: Blue sharks have been found to travel over 9,000 km (5,700 miles).

Just one of the species we may encounter on our Early Halifax Cage Diving Expeditions - beginning June 18.

The wait is almost over! Only one month to go! 🦈

Our early-season Halifax shark cage diving expeditions kick off in exactly one month from today, and spots are limited.

Starting this season, we’re not waiting for the sharks to come to us. We’re venturing farther offshore into warmer waters, where early-season shark activity is already underway.

These special early-season expeditions are offered at a reduced rate and are more than a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Every trip directly supports real shark science, helping us better understand and conserve these incredible animals in Atlantic Canada.

Join us offshore this season to cage dive for science.

One of the most mysterious and unique species we encounter on our Halifax Cage Diving Expeditions is the Porbeagle shark. Looking like a mix between a white shark and a mako, we normally see juveniles that buzz around the cage like hummingbirds. The shark’s name has
Cornish origins and probably comes from a combination of the words “porpoise,” referring to its hydrodynamic body shape, and “beagle,” referring to its hunting style being tenacious like a beagle hunting dog. We encountered 7 of these incredible sharks last season and can’t wait to see them again soon. Count down to the launch of our Early Halifax Cage Diving Expeditions is on! Will we be seeing you next month?
