Swim with Sharks in St. Thomas!
Prepare to discover juvenile sharks up close and personal in a way you’ve never experienced before. Sharks are fascinating, magnificent, and very misunderstood creatures and this interaction will help you learn the truths and myths about the ocean’s top predators. To assist in the preservation of sharks, Coral World has recreated a shark nursery, offering juvenile sharks every opportunity to grow in a safe environment before being released into the wild. A portion of the proceeds goes towards shark conservation and research.
What to Expect on a Shark Encounter in St Thomas
- Meet sharks face-to-face in the Shark Shallows exhibit while wearing a mask and snorkel for close, comfortable observation.
- Observe juvenile sharks swimming nearby and learn how Coral World cares for them in the shark nursery designed to protect young animals before release.
- Interpretive briefings and guided supervision explain shark behavior, safe distance guidelines and how you can help shark conservation.
A portion of proceeds from the program supports shark conservation and research at Coral World. - Personalized photos of your encounter are available for purchase after your program so you can take home a lasting memory.
