West Florida’s Leading Shark Adventures

Tampa Shark Diving Adventures

Looking for an unforgettable adventure in the Tampa Bay area?

The tranquil waters of the Gulf of Mexico off of Tampa are the home to some of Florida’s apex marine predators.

The sharks off of Tampa, St Pete, Clearwater and Sarasota come in a variety of species from the humble nurse shark to the imposing tiger shark, making Florida’s West coast one of the top destinations for thrilling shark encounters.

The typically calmer waters of the Gulf of Mexico provide divers of all experience levels with ideal conditions to come face-to-face with shark species in their native habitat.

At Tampa Shark Diving, we’ve perfected the art of Tampa Shark Diving after years of successful dives with guests from all over the world.

Whether you are a novice diver who is getting up the courage to dive with sharks for the first time or a diving professional who has logged countless hours under the surface with sharks, our team of professional shark guides puts you on the sharks and walks you through the process from the comfort of our shark boats.

We offer two absolutely unforgettable shark experiences for our valued guests.

The first, and our most popular excursion, is our Shark Diving trips. On these adventures, our team helps dive guests get in the water with sharks face-to-face as they swim alongside amazing shark species like the Bull Shark, Great Hammerhead, Lemon Sharks and more.

Our second excursion is our Shark viewing Trips that put you in the action without ever getting your hair wet. On our shark viewing adventures, our guests take in the action of Tampa’s sharks from the comfort of our boats as they watch sharks break the surface and hit our hookless “baits” to give you an idea of the raw power of these amazing creatures. If the conditions are right, you may even be able to play tug-of-war with a playful shark on your adventure, all from the comfort of our boats.

Both adventures start at our docks in Sarasota, just an hour South of the Tampa Bay area, where our shark diving operations are based.

We also provide Tampa Shark Diving experiences for professional film and cinematography teams who are looking for professional marine wildlife video production.

Have a look around our website and find out how our Tampa Shark Diving adventures can become the most amazing adventure experience you have ever encountered! Book your adventure with us today!
