Where to go scuba diving with blue sharks
About this list
When you look for scuba diving with blue sharks, search results rarely show how the trip actually works. Maptlantis lists only operators that name the blue shark as a target species and actually run scuba diving programs, 3 in all. Countries and regions on record include Azores, Faial, Simon's Town & Cape Town and St Keverne. Not every scuba diving program is the same experience. Approach distance, whether you may enter the water and group size limits differ by country, and by operator within a country. All 3 operators on this list publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare them directly. Estimated prices are not shown. Operators list different seasons, Jul–Sep and Nov–Jun among them. There is no single season for scuba diving with blue sharks, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. No operator running wildlife programs can guarantee an encounter. Treat any trip that promises one with suspicion.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I go scuba diving with blue sharks?
3 operators on Maptlantis name the blue shark as a target species and run scuba diving. The list shows them by country and region.
Will I definitely see blue sharks?
No. They are wild animals, and there are days you will not meet them because of the season, sea conditions and their movements. If an operator promises an encounter, treat that wording with suspicion.
When is the season for scuba diving with blue sharks?
Seasons the operators give: Jul–Sep and Nov–Jun. Operating periods differ between operators even in the same area, so check before you book.
How is scuba diving different from boat-based watching?
Watching from a boat and getting in the water differ in both rules and price. Some countries ban getting in the water or allow it only with licensed operators, so check which kind of trip you are booking.
