The Shark Safari team allows GoPro/Action Camera devices, but they are not allowed to be directly in your hand, and please no selfie sticks for your safety and the experience of others. (please use chest mount, or similar) Sharks have the innate ability to track and locate electrical impulses in the water. Due to the handheld nature of these small cameras, it is not safe to have them firmly grasped in your hands. The Shark Safari team is not responsible for lost possessions and cannot retrieve equipment due to the extreme depths of the ocean floor. We welcome all professional cameras. If you possess professional grade dome equipment and wish to bring said equipment on a dive.
We provide full documentation of each trip through the eyes of our world renowned videographers. If you wish to purchase your very own professional grade excursion photo or video, please select the option when booking.
