Great White Shark Dives Get a Makeover

This season, we're offering two incredible new choices in San Francisco great white shark diving.  Join us for a one-day trip aboard the New Eldorado III or board the White Holly for a two-day Farallones expedition that will have you sleeping among the sharks.  No dive experience is required.

Our one-day shark adventures now depart from San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf. You'll travel to the Farallons aboard the New Eldorado III, a 55 ft high-speed catamaran. She provides the perfect combination of speed, comfort and stability. The cost is $875 for cage divers and $375 for topsiders.  Plan to leave the dock by 7 am and return around 5 pm.

This season, for the first time ever, we're also offering overnight trips to the Farallons. Shark divers can get double the cage time by booking a bunk on the White Holly and spending two incredible days diving with sharks and observing amazing wildlife alongside our naturalist and expert shark dive team. The White Holly is a 133 ft high endurance research and expedition vessel that first took to the seas on D-Day, 1944.

Our two-day shark expeditions depart from nearby Sausalito, a great seaside village located just across the Golden Gate from San Francisco.  You'll board the White Holly on Friday night at the US Army Corps of Engineers dock, located just behind the Bay Model Visitor Center. (Be sure to take the tour of this amazing facility while you're in town.)

Very early Saturday morning, while you're still sound asleep in your bunk, we'll depart for the Farallons and our favorite spot to drop the shark cages. You'll spend Saturday night out at the Farallons and won't set foot on land again until Sunday evening.  The cost is $1175 per person and includes just about everything. (That isn't a typo. For only $300 more than the cost of a one day cage dive adventure, you get a second day of cage diving, plus on-board accommodations and most of your meals.)

Note: Our two-day expeditions aren't for everyone. You should be comfortable with the idea of sleeping in a shared bunkroom and physically able to navigate around a real work boat.  You'll experience a bit of what it's like to be an ocean researcher out at sea.

Shark Dives in Jeopardy: We Need Your Letters

There is an effort underway to get boats banned from traveling within 300 feet of the magnificent Farallon Islands.  (That's the length of an American football field.) If people behind the effort are successful, this could very well be our last season offering great white shark adventures in California.  The restriction would serve to keep people so far from the wildlife that inhabit the islands that observing the shark feedings, seals and seabirds would be difficult.

We need your help. We need short letters in support of our California great white shark dives that we can present to key decision makers. Letters from past shark dive customers endorsing our operation are needed most of all. We know we run a great program, but "the powers that be" need to hear it from you. Please email your comments to: jane@incredible-adventures.com. We can't thank you enough.

We Love Emails Like This

"...Right from the very start, when we arrived in Moscow, I felt safe and secure with your wonderful ladies (Lena and Irina). They could not have been more helpful. Giving me a cell phone was a nice touch. The accommodation was first class all the way. My friend Kerry was very impressed with Moscow"...

"The flight was the most exciting (and demanding) thing I have ever done in my whole life.  My fitness let me down a little (if I were to do it again, and I probably will, in a MiG 31), I would get into better shape and perhaps have a ride in the L-39 first. I could not believe the power of the MiG. It was spectacular. The pilot and all the Russians at Sokol were great."

"The whole adventure so far was worth every penny and I have still not got back home to brag to my flying buddies!! Thanks again and I hope to be in touch with you in the future."

Don't Let the Irish Have All the Luck

This summer's MiG flight schedule gives new meaning to the phrase "the luck o' the Irish".  A record number of citizens from Ireland are lucky enough to be heading to Russia to fly a MiG.  

If you'd like to fly a MiG, you don't have to be Irish, but you do have to contact Greg.

Moms and Dads Need Adventures

We sell a whole lot of air combat adventures as Father's Day gifts. Dads shouldn't be the only ones having fun. We think Mom would like a shark dive. Or a zero-gravity flight. Or, better yet, a Hollywood Top Gun adventure. Hint, hint.
