This island is one of the greatest places in the world to see these gigantic sharks up close and in the clearest possible waters with up to 150' (45.7 meters) of visibility. These magnificent creatures average 9' to 15' (2.7 to 4.6meters) and weigh around 3,500 lbs (1,587.6 kg), and are extraordinarily graceful as they swim around you in their natural habitat. Great Whites can range in size up to 25' (7.6 meters) and weigh as much as 7,000 lbs. (3,175 kg).
