MOA shark dives.

I dove last winter with my wife and a couple of friends.  It was a good experience.  They walk you down to a lounge like area at the top of the tanks and you drop your gear.  They give you a quick tour around the top of the tanks to let you know what all they have.  You then suit up in your gear and walk over to the fresh water tank holding your fins.  In the water they lead you through a lap around the tank to point out things to watch out for and then you have the rest of about 25-30 minutes as I recall to swim around as you like.  They have a little bucket of worms to feed the fish, which causes them to get close enough you can actually pet them.  I had fun interacting with our friends and family in the tube.  After the first dive you head back to the tables where they offer you snacks and drinks as they discuss how the shark dive is going to go.  There are 4-5 corners of the tank that they shift between.  My understanding was that the sharks don't specifically see a white stick but they see some impediment in front of them and it's enough to make them change direction.  You can either sit alongside/behind the trainers to watch the sharks or you can sift through the rock for teeth.  Wherever you are, the trainers are always between you and the sharks so I never really felt in danger.  I think they explained to us that the sharks were well fed and had no reason to want to attack us.  Again, I think you're in the water for about 25-30 minutes.  Over all it was a fun experience.
