At Underwater Explorer, we combine adventure with education, offering world-class shark diving experiences while promoting conservation. Our expert instructors prioritise safety and share valuable insights into shark behaviour, fostering a deeper appreciation for these apex predators and their vital role in maintaining our marine ecosystems. Ponta do Ouro is rated as one of the top shark diving sites in the world, Pinnacles Reef is renowned for incredible shark encounters. Over the years, we’ve observed some of the ocean’s most breathtaking predators up close. The special and frequent sightings include Bull (Zambezi) sharks, Hammerheads, Silvertips, Duskies, Blacktips, Leopard sharks, and even Tiger sharks—just a few of the 19 species recorded in the area. Eagle rays, Devil rays, and Manta Rays can also make an appearance, adding even more wonder to the experience. 

After descending to depth of roughly 35 meters, you’ll have the chance to admire the dramatic topography of the reefs while hovering above the pinnacles. As you begin the slow ascent, you’ll anticipate what may emerge from the deep blue, making each dive an exciting and ever-changing adventure. Please note this is an Advanced Dive and will require an Advanced Diver certification.
