Hawaii is actually 132 islands; including the larger islands Maui and Oahu, which has the best shark diving. The islands are located 2400 miles from the continent, which gives it a unique 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 place to dive is Maui. The place is considered to be one of the top dive destinations in the world. The island offers a range of diving opportunities including reef dives and dives near volcanic craters. But the most exciting encounter is certainly the amazing (and very huge) Whale Shark. You cannot expect to see them on every dive trip, because they are pretty rare. But if you are lucky, you can see them when you are diving or snorkeling. 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 are going to Oahu or Maui you can dive with sharks; either in the ocean or in an aquarium.
