Trip hosted by Taylor Cunningham in partnership with Hawaii Adventure Diving.
I have been working as a safety diver and photographer on the North Shore for the last seven years and I am so excited to share the sharks that have shaped me as a person with you. Shark diving on the North Shore of Oahu is some of the best in the world!
The Sharks of Hawaii
The shark diving off the North Shore of Oahu is some of the best on the planet. The diversity of shark species in Hawaii is out of this world. Hawaii is home to over forty different species of sharks, so you never know what could show up on one of our dives. Are most likely encounters include the Galapagos sharks, which range between six and ten feet in length on average.
However, there are strong possibilities for other species to swim by on our dives. Sandbar sharks, oceanic blacktips, and scalloped hammerheads would be the next most commonly sighted species. I specifically chose July for this expedition because it will offer us the highest likelihood of encounter the infamous Hawaiian Tiger Shark.
Our main objective for this trip will be to dive with a variety of shark species. Each day will be spent out in the blue swimming with the sharks. We will be crossing our fingers to encounter as many sharks as possible.
I am not only excited to introduce you to the North Shore sharks through our dives but to also provide additional information and workshops on the sharks, underwater photography, and shark research in Hawaii.
