With dinner of
Caribbean spiced chicken
breast with freshly made mango cilantro
sauce, complete with coconut rice, and
a NY cheese cake dessert, who said
shark diving could not be exciting as
well as tasty fun?
The MV Ocean Odyssey features all the
creature comforts our divers desire for
White Shark diving expeditions.
With Chef Cory seeing to your culinary
needs and our shark crews working
Great Whites the scene was described
by a shark diver from last season:
"You guys have created Jimmy Buffet
goes
shark diving here!"
The MV Ocean Odyssey is primarily
designed to cater to solo divers,
dive groups, singles, couples, and
anyone who values a laid back and
fun time with high adventure.
The Ocean Odyssey remains the most
spacious cage diving
vessel in her class.
Let's go shark
diving! |

Meals aboard the Ocean Odyssey are key to any successful dive
expedition. Both individuals and group leaders will be happy to note
that we take great pride in taking care of all our divers food
needs. The galley is fully equipped for any style of cooking
providing divers with a wide range of cuisine.
From traditional meals to the freshest fish in the world, meals that
cater
to religious observance, the Ocean Odyssey cuts no corners in
efforts to present a truly memorable dining experience. Dietary
restrictions are not
a problem and the chef looks forward to accommodating your needs.
The galley/salon area is spacious with ample room for eighteen
passengers
at one seating. Complete with TV and VCR/DVD, and internet access at
the bridge, the main salon is an excellent place to wind down after
a day of incredible shark diving or while en route to Isla
Guadalupe. All beverages - including beer and wine - are available
at no extra cost. We are proud to feature "Shark Trust Wines" at
www.sharktrustwines.com with your meals. This
local eco minded company gives back 10% of its total sales to
ongoing
shark research world wide, and they have a fantastic wine.
Shark Adventure deploys two of the largest shark cages on the
planet; they are 50 square feet each and provide superior space for
our divers and
filmmakers. They feature external flotation pods allowing for more
space and comfort inside our cages. They also feature two unique
external observation hatches for film crews who are looking for
another angle to film Great White Sharks. In short, one of Shark
Adventures most important considerations is
in our cage design and safety. We have produced the best cages
available
on the West coast to dive with; after all it’s where you and your
group will
be spending most of your time with us.
At 85 x 25 feet the Ocean Odyssey is a spacious boat. Odyssey was
re-powered in June of 2000 with stroke Cummins N-14 diesel engines.
By doing so we have increased her speed which in turn means less
travel time and more diving-fishing time! Her size cuts down on rougher crossings to and
from Isla Guadalupe
and provides superior diving comfort while on site.
The boat has a
fresh water tank which is supplemented as needed by a reverse
osmosis water maker capable of generating 1600 gallons of water
daily. This surplus of fresh water provides all our divers with
ample hot water in either of the two main showers aboard or through
our hot water deck
shower, the perfect way to warm up after a long
dive with Great Whites.
The Odyssey was refitted in 2003 with a
"built in" low pressure air system for our divers; it is one of
three boats in the entire fleet to have this system in place. Built
in air systems are a must for shark diving and as such we demand
them for our divers safety and our peace of mind.
The Ocean Odyssey accommodates groups of 16 divers, all group
leaders automatically come for free. We are looking forward to
providing you and your groups with the vacation of a lifetime, tell
our contacts what your needs are and Shark Adventures will make it
happen for you.
