Blue Shark Diving

The Blue Shark Diving program is a specialized open-ocean experience designed for shark lovers who want to dive with blue and mako sharks. The excursions depart from Madalena harbor to Condor Bank, a deep-water area known for shark activity. The dives are conducted in the open blue water, under the guidance of experienced safety divers.

The safety guidelines are based on research from shark scientists and the theories of Professor Erich Ritter. Before the trip, divers receive a detailed briefing on shark behavior and safety protocols. The team uses specialized baiting techniques to attract the sharks, allowing divers to watch them closely.

To participate, divers must complete a check dive along the Pico coast the day before the shark trip. This check dive ensures that everyone is comfortable with their gear and buoyancy. The shark diving season runs from late June to the end of September.
