Dive with Sharks in Hawaii: Shark Tour from Haleiwa
Overview
Experience the world’s most ethical shark encounter in Hawaii. These shark tours were created by renowned marine biologists Ocean Ramsey & Juan Oliphant. As the first company in the United States offering swimming with sharks programs, we combine thrilling adventure with real science—our marine biologist guides (who enter first and exit last) teach you shark safety skills, explain sensory systems, and let you participate in live data collection while maintaining our perfect safety record. We practice passive, respectful encounters where you’ll learn shark behavior from the researchers who wrote the book on it, then discuss conservation actions you can take. Founded by world-famous shark experts, our program blends cutting-edge research with unforgettable education, offering what no other tour can: the chance to swim freely with sharks while contributing directly to their protection.

What To Expect
Shark Diving with Ocean Ramsey and our team of professional shark biologists and guides to learn about shark behavior and shark conservation on our shark tour. This shark dive focuses on teaching people about what to do and what not to do when diving with sharks, guided by a shark biologist and professional shark safety diver. We provide mask snorkel, fins, and rash guards for everyone on board the shark tour. We have brand new, state-of-the-art shark diving boats custom-made for Hawaii's rough water to make it very comfortable for our customers. On the way out to the shark dive site, we give a 30-minute educational briefing about sharks, starting with Hawaiian shark history and the importance of sharks in Hawaii. Then, we thoroughly explain our safety rules and shark behavior before the 1hr dive, swim, or snorkel. On the way back into the harbor, we break down Shark behavior that was seen during the dive, and we focus on explaining the importance of sharks in our ocean, highlight our conservation efforts, and explain how people can get involved to help save sharks and support shark conservation efforts in different parts of the world.
