Adelaide – Adelaide (Itinerary
1)
Evening Prior departure:
Most passengers arrive in Adelaide the day before departure. A complimentary
welcome gathering is held at the Rodney Fox Shark Museum the evening
before departure, at 6pm. Here passengers get to meet the dive team,
each other and here is an ideal opportunity to consider any last
minute supplies or hire needs before we depart in the morning.
Day 1 (Departure
Day): Expedition members are transferred to the vessel in
Port Adelaide, and we depart by 12 noon. Once underway we
have lunch, and that afternoon passengers have time to settle into
their cabins and familiarise themselves with the ship. We serve
meals, present talks, and prepare for the days ahead. After Dinner
there is an opportunity to review of some of the classic shark videos
in our collection. We aim to be on our first shark location before
breakfast.
Back
 On
location: Once on location we start chumming and watch out
for sharks. We start cage diving and when conditions allow we also
offer island excursions. After a test dive to orientate new divers
with the shark cage divers are free to enter and exit the cages
at their leisure. There is plenty of time just to relax or get involved
in our research collection, or just enjoy the shark action topside.
Activities revolve around the current shark activity, the shore
parties, meals and special talks. After talks the nights are free
to stargaze and tell stories. The Ship is big enough to get away
from people and find some privacy. We generally stay on location
during the day, usually moving location only during the night to
give us maximum productivity.
Back
On some longer 8 and 9 day dates we transfer some passengers doing
just the Split Trip half way through the tour. We spend some hours
tied up at the wharf in Port Lincoln overnight allowing passengers
to stretch their legs and walk the towns foreshore at night. Some
passengers like to drop into the Tasman Hotel and play a game of
pool and say farewell to any passengers departing.
Back
Last Day Arrival
in Adelaide: After a full previous day on location we depart
for the 14-16 hour overnight journey back to Port Adelaide, arriving
to our homeport around 11am on this final day. We
deliver all passengers back to the Adelaide Airport, their accommodation
in Glenelg or at the Shark museum, where people base from until
their flights leave later that day.
Many passengers, staying the night of return in
Adelaide, often get together back at the Shark museum and plan a
restaurant meal that night. This depends on remaining numbers and
individual wishes.
Note: Any afternoon flights planned on
this last day out from Adelaide, should ideally be organised no
earlier than 1-2pm. However if necessary we can still often make
up time to connect to earlier flights. Please advise if this affects
you!
