Great White Shark Diving Expedition

Overview

Join an exclusive expedition that brings you face-to-face with the ocean’s most awe-inspiring predator—led by the living legend of shark diving himself, Rodney Fox. Now retired from running expeditions, Rodney is stepping back on board for this one-time-only journey to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws, the film he helped shape with his pioneering shark cage designs and the first-ever underwater footage of Great White Sharks. This 10-day adventure through Southern Australia is more than a dive trip—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join Rodney on the water, hear his personal stories, and dive into the legacy he created.

With just 9 guests aboard the MV Rodney Fox liveaboard vessel, you'll enjoy unmatched access, world-class hospitality, and six full days of diving in the Neptune Islands and Dangerous Reef. Explore from both surface and deep-sea perspectives—including the world’s only Ocean Floor Elevator Cage, where Great Whites glide over the reef and sea grass just meters away. Legendary wildlife photographer Amos Nachoum will also be on board, offering hands-on coaching to help you capture these unforgettable moments in all their raw, natural power.

Whether you're a diver, photographer, or passionate adventurer, this expedition is your chance to witness Great Whites in their true habitat—alongside the pioneers who brought them into the global spotlight.

<span style="color: #000000;"><b>A Once-in-a-Lifetime Encounter with Legends</b></span>
<BR><BR>
Join the only shark diving expedition led by <b>Rodney Fox</b>—the man whose real-life encounter with a Great White inspired the creation of the iconic shark cages used in Jaws. Rodney was also the first person to film Great White Sharks underwater, forever changing how we view these magnificent creatures. Now retired from running regular expeditions, this is the only opportunity to join Rodney on a trip, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jaws and sharing firsthand stories from a lifetime spent beneath the surface with sharks.

<BR><BR>

<span style="color: #000000;"><b>Capture the Perfect Shot with a Master</b></span>
<BR><BR>
World-renowned wildlife photographer <b>Amos Nachoum</b> joins the expedition to offer hands-on photography coaching. Learn to frame, focus, and capture the raw majesty of Great Whites in their natural habitat—whether you're a beginner or an aspiring pro.
<BR><BR>

<span style="color: #000000;"><b>Prime Shark Season in Southern Australia</b></span>
<BR><BR>
Experience peak Great White activity during December, the very best time of year to see multiple sharks in the wild. Dive into the waters off the Neptune Islands, where sightings of several Great Whites at once are not just possible—they're expected.
<BR><BR>

<span style="color: #000000;"><b>World-Exclusive Ocean Floor Cage Diving</b></span>
<BR><BR>
Descend 20 meters below the surface in the world’s only Ocean Floor Elevator Cage. Unlike surface cages, this unique setup brings you face-to-face with Great Whites in their unaltered environment—gracefully circling through swaying sea-grass, schools of reef fish, and dramatic underwater terrain.
<BR><BR>

<span style="color: #000000;"><b>An Intimate, Unrushed Experience</b></span>
<BR><BR>
With a maximum of just 9 guests, enjoy ample cage time—with at least two dives per day on the ocean floor. No waiting in long rotations like larger groups. Just you and two other divers, a dive professional, and one of the most awe-inspiring animals on the planet.

    I came over from the United States to do these dives and couldn’t be happier!

    The staff was incredible and waited on us hand and foot! You will want for nothing and they take great care of you on this trip. There’s no reason to be afraid of these wonderful fish and this is truly an experience you will never forget.

    If you are thinking about doing this, don’t hesitate and go!

    The other people on the trip were amazing as well and made friends for life! I can’t say enough good about this trip and the people running it! It was a long haul to get there and I may come back and do it again it was so great! The food is wonderful and healthy! You will have constant access to snacks in between meals and will want for nothing there as well!!

  • Arthur B.

    This trip has to be one of the most fun exciting and memorable adventures l have been on.

    We had great weather and sharks everyday.

    There is really nothing to be afraid of,everybody was keen to get into the cages, the thrill of seeing a Great White up close is tremendous.

    The time flew by, the food was delicious.

    People bonded with each other, and even more so with the staff, who took care of everything

    At the end of the trip it was difficult to say goodbye, people became emotional.

    l will definitely be doing this again.

  • Fabio M.

    That’s by far one of the best adventure a shark lover like me could have hoped for. I have spent a week on board of the Rodney Fox and still can’t believe to what I’ve seen, we spotted 4 different great whites, some dolphins and we swam with sea lions too.

    My only regret is that I tried the bottom cage only on the last day and the experience is hard to describe. The atmosphere on board was very friendly and relaxing. The food was delicious and the crew was outstanding. The whole organization was flawless, deeply committed to provide a safe environment for us and for the sharks . I can’t wait to come back as soon as possible and enjoying the whole thrill this time from the bottom cage!

    I recommend this adventure to all the shark lovers and also to the ones who think that this marvelous apex predators are just heartless killers, I’m sure they will change their mind!!!
