About the event

Learn more about underwater photography, and help monitor critically endangered grey nurse sharks!

November is peak mating season for grey nurse sharks at Wolf Rock, one of the world's top shark dives. We'll be doing double dives with Wolf Rock Dive, operating from near Rainbow Beach, to see and photograph these amazing sharks, and to help monitor their population through photo-identification.

These dives will be hosted, guided, and booked directly with Wolf Rock Dive.

Booking steps:

  1. Send Wolf Rock Dive an email directly to confirm availability (info@wolfrockdive.com.au).
  2. Register here on Sony Scene.
  3. Go directly to https://wolfrockdivecentre.rezdy.com/344003/double-dive-charter-for-advanced-divers-and-above to complete your booking (AU$305).
  4. Enter 'DIVE WITH SIMON' in your booking notes.

Your host, Sony Digital Imaging Advocate and shark scientist Dr Simon Pierce, is a world expert on shark photo-identification and protecting ocean wildlife. He's the Executive Director of the Marine Megafauna Foundation, an Adjunct Fellow at the University of the Sunshine Coast, and Research Manager for the Spot A Shark community science initiative for grey nurse sharks in Australia.

As the sharks will likely be at 18 metres depth or more, these dives will be suited for advanced divers or above, and we will be diving on 30% nitrox. If you are not yet certified for nitrox dives, you can register for the course with the dive centre and complete the required materials before the day of the event. The aim is to have a group of reasonably experienced divers to focus on shark photography (while of course enjoying one of the world's top dives).

All bookings are subject to Wolf Rock Dive terms and conditions. Simon and the team will be diving from 10–19th, so feel free to book across multiple days (please register for each separately here on Sony Scene).

Techniques covered

  • Shark behaviour
