Shark Diving
Shark Diving
South Florida, known for its year-round warm and clear blue waters, offers some of the best diving in the U.S., with excellent wrecks and reef dives. Jupiter, in particular, stands out due to its proximity to the Gulf Stream, making it a top destination for shark diving. It is home to a diverse range of shark species, including Tiger, Great Hammerhead, Bull, Dusky, Silky, Reef, Sandbar, and Lemon Sharks. While shark sightings are not guaranteed on every dive, the area regularly offers encounters with a variety of sharks. The Lemon shark population is especially notable, with migrations occurring from December to March, while other species like Hammerheads and Tigers appear during seasonal migrations. The dives often feature Bull sharks, nurse sharks, and occasional sightings of Whale Sharks, Manta Rays, Loggerhead Turtles, and Goliath Groupers, especially during aggregation and spawning seasons (August to October).

For just $195, we’ll send you the online class, and then meet you on the morning of the dive for a quick review and demonstration. The online class only takes about an hour, and once completed, you’ll be Nitrox-certified for life. This certification can be added to your concierge gear delivery reservation. While it’s possible to dive on air, make sure to monitor your dive computer for allowable bottom times
