The Calypso Shark Cage Diving was the most exhilarating experience of my life and I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially someone who is afraid of sharks. I felt perfectly safe the entire time and in fact was hoping that the sharks would come closer. I would do over and over again if I could. All in all, I... More

By far 'the' best experience I've had to date! Totally enjoyed my shark dive experience with calypso! To start the cost seems a little pricey however it's worth every penny! Boat facilities and crew (particulary the skipper) were fantastic with good food and plenty of soft drinks included. The cage experience was well organised and professionally conducted. I had almost... More

Hands down one of the best experiences of my life. Having had a horror fascination with sharks since an early age this was me facing one of my biggest fears. However, looking back on it I don't remember fear when being in the cage just adrenalin! The crew were really friendly, food was first rate and so much of it...... More

Absolutely love it when we have helped people to face and overcome their fears of these remarkable creatures. It is more a fear of the unknown and then once you see them and can appreciate them for what they are you gain an insight into the inquisitive and graceful animals that they are! We are pleased we gave you an... More

From the online booking to the service aboard the boat, Calypso does a great job and is well worth the money. The boat is large enough to give everyone ample space to relax. The operation goes very smoothly as the crew gives the required safety briefings, hands out wet suits and keeps everyone fed throughout the day. The cage offers... More

Hi Rob, thank for your review of your experience out with us. It is good to have the feedback that the entire process, from booking through to the dive, was easy to follow, informative and you felt it was good value for money. Unfortunately as we do have to travel out in open ocean there is the chance that people... More

Great Trip - Good boat, decent amount of room even with a full load of people (40). Nice and helpfully staff, lots of nice food. 30-40min in the cage, you are with 4-5 other divers but its not noticeable. Take seasick tablets, even if you don't get seasick - makes the trip much more enjoyable. At $500 its a hefty... More

We went out with the Calypso crew yesterday after having a great day the day before swimming with Sealions the day before! The boat is fantastic, plenty of room to move about up & downstairs, including dry warm cabins for those in need of warmth or shelter. The food & drinks on board was plenty & had a fantastic crew...

I have to agree, this is definitely a bucket list to do, and once you have done it you usually want to do it again! We do apologise that the cage cameras weren't working, we have been having some technical difficulties that we hope to have rectified soon.

copie of my travel report Like Joe, who has seen the Great White Sharks a few month ago, it’s also hard for me to find the right words to describe this spectacular experience. The fact that Great White Sharks exist on this planet for millions of years let feel this encounter unreal. Branded by Hollywood into a soulless, people eating... More
