Pick up

Pick up is only if the transfer service has been booked

• Transfers are available from most accommodation locations in Port Lincoln for $15 per person for a return fare. Bookings can be arranged at the time of your booking.
• Transfers need to be booked prior to 5.30pm the day before your charter.
• If you are staying at the Port Lincoln Hotel please note that they provide their own free transfer. Please confirm on check in that you are doing the dive to ensure they have you down for the transfer.

Check in at 6:00am 

• For those making their own way to our office please arrive at our office 3/10 South Quay Boulevard (blue fronted building) at 6.00am.

The Journey - approximately 3hrs 

• We are often accompanied by pods of dolphins and even the odd whale, in season. During the trip, have a chat with the friendly crew who will provide you with information about the fishing industries, the ‘local area’ and the marine life. Take in the spectacular coastal scenery of lower Spencer Gulf and the islands of Thorny Passage. 
• Sea sickness medication is strongly recommended - available for purchase at our office.

Time to get in the water!

• Groups up to 8 at a time enter our spacious cage (the largest in Australia).
• We are dealing with sharks in their natural environment, they are free to come and go as they please. Our crew strive to ensure all groups get a similar experience in the cage, based on shark interaction so the actual time does vary between the groups. Please remember that the day isn’t just about being in the cage as there is also ample viewing opportunity from on board the vessel while waiting for your turn to dive.
• As well as breakfast, we provide you with morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, plus coffee/tea and filtered water, all included. Soft drinks and bottled water are available for purchase on-board.
• MV Calypso Star II is a fully licensed vessel so the bar is open on the way home for your convenience.
• NO diver qualification or previous experience required!

Return to the Marina

• Due to the nature of the activity we cannot guarantee the exact time we will return to the Marina at the end of the day. The return is subject to weather conditions and shark activity.
• Every effort will be made on the day to give everyone the opportunity to sight sharks, even if this means staying on site for additional time.
• Generally we will return around 6pm - 9pm.
• Guests are therefore required to stay a minimum of two nights in Port Lincoln, the night before and the night of the charter, to ensure you do not miss any flights.
