Ready to travel to one of the best bucket-list, world-famous destinations for shark encounters? Are you the adventurous type of couple?

If so, then deep diving to view sharks face-to-face might be your next bucket list travel vacation.

I finally crossed off whale watching on my couple’s travel bucket list. But for me personally, I’d rather stay above the water than dive below the surface.

Maybe you’re different and want to get up close and personal with some of nature’s most mysterious creatures.
