When swimming with sea creatures most people think of dolphins or whales, but if you’re looking for more of a thrill-seeking experience, why not swim with sharks? Sharks get a bad rep for being aggressive, but they’re actually gentle giants and these shark experiences are looking to eradicate those misconceptions. If you’re up for an adventure, check out these bucket list shark experiences around the world.

Scuba Diving with Tiger Sharks — Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas

Known for its tiger sharks, lemon sharks, and hammerheads, Tiger Beach on Grand Bahama Island is one of the best spots in the world to scuba with dolphins. Jim Abernethy’s Scuba Adventures has cage-free dives that are capped at 10 divers and depart from West Palm Beach, Florida.

Great White Shark Cage Dive —  Simon’s Town, South Africa

Of course South Africa would be on this list since it’s the spot to see great white sharks in their natural habitat.
