The M/V Spree is a 100ft aluminum crew boat refit for open-ocean diving.
The Spree is powered by three 12V71 Detroit Diesel engines and runs at a top speed of approximately 16 knots. She has two 30kw generators to keep the lights on and the air compressors pumping.
The boat has tank racks for each diver, a large camera table and camera rinse barrels, gear rinse tanks, 2 boarding ladders with a large swim platform, and a large sundeck.
What your Shark Adventure will consist of:
This unique shark trip is run exclusively for shark enthusiasts and photographers. Our focus is offering quality in-water time and photo opportunities with these magnificent creatures, led by Marine Biologist Denise Byrne.
The warm crystal clear water surrounding the Bahamas boasts some of the best shark encounters in the world. Tiger Beach is world renowned as the pinnacle of Shark Diving, these 15+ foot resident sharks have earned their reputation as some of the most awe-inspiring sharks.
These heart-pounding experiences are often rivaled when divers see the rarely observed Great Hammerhead Sharks, which can grow to 18 feet in length!
Along with Lemon sharks, Nurse Sharks and Caribbean Reef Sharks this fun, shark filled week will be an experience you will never forget!
