EQUIPMENT

OUR EQUIPMENT:

• Viewing Cages:
  Custom-built cages are 10’x 7’x 5’ and are constructed of marine grade 6061 aluminum. All cages are 100% precision welded by certified welders. Solid weld fabrication means no nuts and bolts and no assembly required. Large entry hatches with doors open and close easily to allow divers to safely enter and exit. All cages float at the water’s surface – at no time are the cages submerged meaning divers can come and go as necessary. In addition, all cages have large, adjustable viewing windows for unobstructed photos.

• Air System:
  All air is surface supplied via hookah hoses. All air lines are suspended out of the water and well out of range of sharks and other obstructions. Air-lines are then fed directly down into the dive cages. The low-pressure air system is powered by two fifty kw Isuzu diesel generators. All regulators are supplied by Islander Shark Expeditions.
