Some information about Rodney Fox

Since pioneering shark cage diving over 40-years ago, Rodney Fox and his son Andrew have been at the very forefront of human interaction with Great White Sharks.Join the Fox’s aboard the “Princess II” for the worlds ultimate shark adventure.

Sample Itinerary

Standard Dive Group Itinerary for a 4 night tour

Loading Day A group transfer is offered from the Port Lincoln Airport to the vessel. All passengers load and meet onboard the night before departure for registration, information briefings and to prepare and relax before retiring to their cabins for the night.

Dive Days On dive day one with passengers still asleep, our vessel departs very early AM for the Neptune Islands enabling an entire first full dive day with sharks. On most trips we also enjoy stopping along the way to swim with the world famous and photogenic Australian sea lions of Hopkins Island, this allows us a half day of sea lions and a half day of sharks. At the Neptune Islands, in addition to surface cage diving, we deploy our unique submersible cage, taking divers down to the sharks preferred environment on the ocean floor. Here great whites are seen in more numbers and certainly at their incomparable very best. Huge rays and a rich array of other sea life on the reef below also surround us.

Outside of the diving we also enjoy other onboard activities, special talks, and exploring the local islands with our tender.
