About this site
Shark Encounter lies on a reef in Bahamian waters, reaching a maximum depth of around 15 metres and rated an intermediate dive. Divers here have reported angelfish, grouper, moray eels, nurse sharks, reef sharks, and even hammerhead sharks, though sightings of the larger species are occasional rather than guaranteed. The shallow reef flats and shark activity fit the pattern the Bahamas are generally known for.
