    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Tiger Beach delivers exactly what it promises: tiger sharks, usually in numbers. It’s a shallow sand flat, around 12 meters deep, and the dive itself is straightforward – typically, you’re kneeling on the sand, watching the show unfold. We've seen lemon sharks and nurse sharks cruise by, but the real draw is those huge tigers. Visibility is generally excellent, making for some incredible photo opportunities. If you're keen on seeing big sharks up close in calm, predictable conditions, this spot is ideal, even for newer divers comfortable with an open water environment.
