Why dive here
Shark Condos is a dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 25-28°C, warmest August, September, October.
Shark Condos has become a bit of a legend, and we can confirm it lives up to the hype. It’s not just a clever name; you really do find a collection of ledges and overhangs that look custom-built for sleeping reef sharks. We’ve seen white-tips, mostly, tucked into the shadows, sometimes three or four sharing a good spot. It’s a thrill, a genuine peek into their nocturnal world, even if it’s the middle of the day. Aside from the sharks, which are obviously the main draw, the reef itself is busy. Schools of Bristletoothed Surgeonfish are everywhere, and we always spot a few Green Turtles cruising past, sometimes just hanging out near the surface. Our favourite detail is probably the sheer number of colourful wrasses – the Scarlet and Rainbow wrasses particularly stand out against the darker rocks. Visibility here is usually excellent, giving you a good chance to spot a shy Spotted Puffer or a Giant Squirrelfish trying to blend in. We’d suggest going early to beat any crowds and to catch the sharks before they wake up properly. This site is great for anyone who appreciates a reliable shark encounter without feeling like it’s a manufactured experience.
