Adrenaline junkies in Halifax now have a new outlet.
Atlantic Shark Expeditions launched a new shark cage experience which gives brave attendees a chance to get up close and personal with the oceans most feared predator.
“When people come out to this expedition they’ll have the opportunity to take a really cool drive out, take in some of the good views off the Halifax waterfront, we’ll head to a spot our captain determines, and we’ll put our custom shark cage into the water,” said Neil Hammerschlag, president of Atlantic Shark Expeditions.
“People get in this cage, they have an amazing experience, they get to get close up to the animals and [they’re] safe.”
Hammerschlag says people being part of the experience are also helping to better understand and conserve the many species of sharks found in our own waters.
Atlantic Shark Expeditions operated off the south shore last summer, but moving to Halifax gives them a number of benefits.
“We wanted to move to Halifax because there are actually surprisingly a greater diversity of shark species here closer to shore and there’s also more people to share this experience with,” he said.
