Shark Cage Diving - Calypso Star Charters

• Boarding time is 6.30am at Cape Baron Place, behind the Marina Hotel, Port Lincoln Marina.
• Enjoy the 2.5-3 hour journey Neptune Islands Marine Park.
• The Skipper selects the day's location, based on weather, the anchor is dropped and a quick safety briefing is conducted.
• Now it's time to shark dive!
• The cage enters the water and the crew begin to berley.
• Groups of up to eight at a time - largest shark cage in Australia - enjoy approximately 45 minutes in the cage - The diving time depends on the shark activity on the day.  The crew make effort to ensure all guests receive a similar experience.
• Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea are all supplied.
• Tea, coffee and filter water available free on board.
• Soft drinks, bottle water and alcohol available to purchase.
• Return time - Due to the nature of the activity we cannot guarantee the exact time we will return to the Marina at the end of the day. The return is subject to weather conditions and shark activity. Every effort will be made on the day to give everyone the opportunity to sight sharks, even if this means staying on site for additional time. Generally we will return around 6pm but we have returned as late as 9pm. Guests are therefore required to stay a minimum of two nights in Port Lincoln, the night before and the night after the charter, to ensure you do not miss any flights.
