How the day works

  • Sea lions firstAt Hopkins or Grindal Island you get a wetsuit, mask and snorkel, and a crew member is in the water with you the whole time. The sea lions come to play, with somersaults and swirls. After about an hour, it’s back on board for a hot shower and a coffee.
  • Then the sharksOn to the Neptune Islands Marine Park for shark cage diving. The sharks are wild and come and go as they please, so time in the cage varies between groups. There’s plenty to see from the deck while you wait your turn.
  • Not swimming?If you’d rather not swim with the sea lions, you can join the captain in the tender boat to watch them.

Operated by Calypso Star Charters. Pro Dive sells the tour; there’s no Pro Dive shop in Port Lincoln.

Requirements

Children

  • Children under 8 can go in the water only at the skipper’s discretion on the day.
  • Under-16s need adult supervision at all times. If a child is in the water, their supervising adult must be too; if either gets out, both do.
  • Under-18s need their waiver signed by a parent or guardian.

What to bring

  • Bathers and a towel.
  • A camera and charging cables, if you have one. USB points are on board.
  • Warm clothes: it can get cool on the water, even in summer. A warm jacket is a must in winter.
  • Polarised sunglasses (they make it easier to spot sharks from the deck), sunscreen and soft-soled boat shoes, preferably not thongs.
  • A small bag and a reusable drink bottle. Chilled filtered water is on board.

Each trip operator’s own medical and waiver requirements are emailed with your booking confirmation. About dive medicals.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a diver?

No. You snorkel with the sea lions and go into the shark cage without any diving qualification.

What if we don’t see any sharks?

Sightings can’t be guaranteed. The operator’s no-shark policy gives a partial refund and a voucher to come back within 12 months. See the terms and conditions.

What if the weather is too rough for the sea lions?

The tour runs as a shark cage diving charter instead, and you can take a partial refund or join a sea lion swim on another day at no charge.

Can I just do one of the two?

Yes. See shark cage diving or swimming with sea lions.
