9. San Diego
Location: California (including dives in Coronado and La Jolla)
What's Cool: Close-up shark experience in the United States
-----------------------------------------
The advertisement on the Web site for San Diego Shark Diving reads "come nose to nose with wild hungry sharks," and that is exactly what this experience delivers! Perhaps it is not as scenic or nature-oriented as other shark experiences, but a shark dive in San Diego allows one to experience the great white safely. Divers are well shielded in a steel cage as they descend into the water with a leader wearing a special metal, chainmail suit. Expect to be nose to steel-protected-nose with blue sharks and mako sharks in each 45-minute excursion.
