Hello,

I have had the opportunity to dive with many sharks, including hammerhead sharks, black fin sharks, silver-tip sharks, white fin sharks, lombatus, silk sharks and so on, for a week in French Polynesia, on the atoll of Rangiroa, which is part of the Tuamotus Archipelago. You are not in a cage and they do not feed the sharks to attract them. It is a very thrilling and exhilarating experience. You have to be an intermediate diver as you go down to the limits of sports diving to see the sharks at 30 meters (98 feet) deep. I dove with the extremely knowledgeable and amazing Yves Lefevre at Raie Manta Club. He has been studying sharks for well over 20 years and is also an animal photographer as well as a diving instructor. He founded the first diving center in the Tuamotu archipelago in 1985. His club specializes in both underwater photographers and filmmakers, offering them personalized service.
Raie Manta Club worked with Jacques Cousteau and the Calypso team, Nicolas Hulot for "Ushuaia", Luc Besson for the filming of Atlantis, The BBC, Arte, Thalassa and National Geographic, to name a few.

His website is : raiemantaclub.com/rangi-uk.htm

This was, by far, my most amazing experience in my entire life... to observe sharks in their natural habitat, in a peaceful setting, a incredible and truly memorable one.

I hope you can go there because you will be transported in a different world...
