Hawaii has some of the best shark diving in the world. So if you are on vacation in Hawaii, you can try to swim with sharks there. An experience you will never forget.

Hawaii is actually 132 islands; including the larger islands Maui and Oahu, which has the best shark diving. The islands are located 2400 miles from the continent, which gives it a unique underwater environment.

About 40 shark species can be found in the water around Hawaii. You can expect to see Scalloped Hammerhead Shark, Reef Whitetip Sharks and Sandbar Sharks; and if you are lucky also Tiger Sharks and even Whale Sharks.

The amazing cobalt blue water has a visibility approximately 200 feet, which makes it some of the best in the whole world. Diving in Hawaii is very special.

If you want to do an extreme activity, Hawaii is a great place for shark cage diving (or shark cage swimming as actually is).

Oahu is the place for this shark cage activity. You and up to three other persons are placed in a floating cage. From here you can look the sharks in the eyes from a very short distance.

So if you are on vacation in Oahu, and you have never tried a shark cage dive, you should go. When will you ever get the chance again to get a close encounter with a shark?

Another great place for diving is Maui, which actually is considered one of the top diving destinations in the world. There is a lot of diving possibilities here, including reef diving and diving near volcanic craters.

But the most exciting encounter is certainly the amazing (and very huge) Whale Shark. You cannot expect to see them on every dive trip, because they are pretty rare. But if you are lucky, you can see them when you are diving or snorkeling.

If you want to be absolute certain to see sharks, you can go to the Maui Ocean Center aquarium. In the 750,000 gallon fish tanks you can dive among 20 sharks, stingrays and thousands of colorful reef fish.

So if you want to dive with sharks in an aquarium or in the ocean, Maui or Oahu is the places to go.
