For the cooler months of the year between November and March you can experience a shark dive that'll set your heart racing and adrenaline pumping. Every day we experienced about ten female Bull Sharks that came in close enough to touch and I have videos to prove it. Just a few hundred metres from the swimmers on the beach, this is a sandy expanse as expected with lots of Ramora, Trigger and other inquisitive fish join in the encounters. Small boats used by a few of the many Dive centres in the area make the 3 minute shift to this point where at least 10 female Bull Sharks lurk at 25metres
