Hawaii has some of the best shark diving in the world. So if you are on vacation in Hawaii, you can try to swim with sharks there. An experience you will never forget. Hawaii consists of 132 islands; including Oahu and Maui, which has the best locations for a shark dive. Hawaii is located 2400 miles from the mainland, and the distance creates a very special underwater environment. The water around Hawaii is home for about 40 different shark species. The most common are Reef Whitetip Sharks, Sandbar Sharks and Scalloped Hammerhead Shark. In rare occasions it is also possible to encounter Tigers Sharks and even Whale Sharks. The visibility of the amazing cobalt blue water is approximately 200 feet; some of the best in the world. Hawaii is a divers Paradise. If you want to try an adrenalin-pumping activity, you should try shark cage diving (or more accurate shark cage swimming). Oahu is the place for this shark cage activity. You and up to three other persons are placed in a floating cage. From here you can look the sharks in the eyes from a very short distance. So if you are on vacation in Oahu, and you have never tried a shark cage dive, you should go. When will you ever get the chance again to get a close encounter with a shark? Another great place for diving is Maui, which actually is considered one of the top diving destinations in the world. There is a lot of diving possibilities here, including reef diving and diving near volcanic craters. But the most exciting shark encounter is without doubt with the amazing and huge Whale Shark. It is not something you can expect to see on every dive. But you can actually be lucky enough to see them on a snorkeling trip. If you want to be absolute certain to see sharks, you can go to the Maui Ocean Center aquarium. In the 750,000 gallon fish tanks you can dive among 20 sharks, stingrays and thousands of colorful reef fish. So if you want to dive with sharks in an aquarium or in the ocean, Maui or Oahu is the places to go. Author: Morten Elm is writing about great white shark cage diving in the Shark Diving Guide.
