游轮简介

Boat

Rodney Fox is a 32 meters long, 7.6 meters wide spacious steel liveaboard vessel, it has the exclusive rights to go ashore on the Neptune Islands in South Australia and feature the only Ocean Floor Dive Cage in the world.

Rodney Fox has 3 decks in total, with an cozy lounge with bar where meals are served, an open sundeck where guests can watch the shark action or relax under the Oz sun. The brand new tender boat is for island tours and sea lion snorkels and dives.

Rodney Fox will get most of the sailing is done at night, providing maximum exposure to the sharks and the stunning Neptune Islands. You’ll have more time to dive, explore, observe other wildlife, and enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow passengers and crew. In between the thrill of the sharks, the tours are relaxed, with plenty of opportunities to unwind or find out more about shark research.


Story Behind

It began in 1963 when Rodney Fox was savagely attacked by a Great White while defending his Spear Fishing Champion title off Aldinga Beach, South Australia. The fact that Rodney survived is amazing, and due to an incredible set of events that aligned fortuitously in his favour. To this day, his attack is regarded as one of the most severe ever to be survived. In total, Rodney had 462 stitches in his chest, right hand and arm. It changed his life, and he became fascinated with the primeval creature that had almost killed him.

In 1976, shortly after JAWS was released, Rodney received a request from an American dive travel company wanting to bring their clients on a Great White shark expedition. Rodney happily obliged, and it became the world’s first Shark Cage Diving Tour – the first of very many as it turned out.

Rodney continued to run tours and make films until 1999. By this time, his son, Andrew had become an integral part of the operation. Educated with a science degree, he is a world-renowned underwater photographer and a highly regarded advocate of the Great White Shark.

The Rodney family will give you an experience you're looking for. In many months they do enjoy a success rate approaching 100% seeing the great white sharks most years.

船宿行程样本

About the trips

With daylight saving (October to March) in Spring and Summer, we offer tours as short as 2-3 nights long. Typically the weather is more favourable at this time of year and the beautiful long summer nights are just a joy!

The BIGGEST sharks of the year are often seen in Autumn and Winter - April into June is usually the best time to witness giant mature female great whites. As we head deeper into this season the tours have a longer itinerary. This takes the shorter days and typical weather in to account, so to give best chance of success we run our various 4 to 10 day expeditions. This additional time onboard gives us flexibility as to when we get down to and get back between the shelter of the mainland and the sheltered anchorage of the Neptune Islands. Such tours are relatively less expensive to reflect the relative time spent with great white sharks. We only choose the most productive days to spend with the sharks, and look for alternative diving or shore based activities on other days.

Depending on the season, some longer itineraries also target inshore coastal species including the world largest giant cuttlefish aggregation, Australian sea lions, and leafy sea dragons.


Great White Shark Expedition (5 Nights)

A special six-day live-aboard expedition includes 5 days of peak great white shark diving, an Australian sea lion dive or two, plus other extras in this comprehensive expedition package.


Great White Shark Expedition (3 Nights)

The Great White Expedition gives 3 days diving and 3 nights onboard the Rodney Fox. This is the perfect trip for anyone who has ever wanted to jump into the cage and experience the thrill of seeing Great White Sharks up close. Even watching them from the boat is amazing. It is an Expedition for all ages, although we recommend children are at least 8 years old, and able to cope in an adult environment.


Great White Adventure (2 Nights)

Our award winning 2-Night Great White Adventure is back running again! This tour now includes OCEAN FLOOR CAGE DIVING for our qualified SCUBA divers. This trip is ideal for anyone who, a little pressed for time, has ever wanted to jump into the cage and experience the thrill of seeing Great White Sharks up close. Even watching them from the boat is amazing. You’ll also learn about the Great White’s habitat and see, first hand, how they interact with their environment. It is an Adventure for all ages, although we recommend children are at least 8 years old, and able to cope in an adult environment.


Lions, Dragons, Giants and Sharks (9 Nights)

This 9-night itinerary allows 9 dive days on location with a variety of dive sites showcasing the underwater wonders of South Australia including Hopkins Islands for the playful Australian sea lions, Kangaroo Island for weedy sea dragons and stunning reef, often with dolphins, and local jetty dives to observe the rare and beautifully ornate leafy sea dragon.

A beautiful tour around the pretty Neptune Islands in our tender boat saying G’day to all the Long-Nosed Fur Seals. You will also have the chance to experience exclusive walking tours on the islands.

最佳潜水季
无论你的船宿目的地是前往澳洲何处,澳洲几乎一年四季都非常适合潜水。

大堡礁船宿 : 最好的时间段是5月至12月,蝠鲼和锤头鲨通常在4月至9月期间出现在珊瑚海;6 - 7月份潜水员则可以在Ribbon Reefs附近和小须鲸一起游泳;绿海龟的交配期则通常是在10月下旬至次年的2月份;珊瑚产卵的独特景象则通常发生在11月初,大约在满月后的第2~第6天。

南澳大白鲨笼潜船宿 (海王星群岛) : 最好的时间是在澳洲的深秋到冬季(4月至6月期间),因为在这期间看到大鲨鱼的机率是最高最稳定的,而且也是体型最大的母鲨出没的时期。另外,每年的9月至来年5月期间,旅客在观看大白鲨的同时也有更大的机会从笼子里看到游泳速度最快的马可鲨(Mako shark),和短尾真鲨等其他鲨鱼,也有机会和海狮一起潜水。

关于温度
气温 - 大堡礁: 冬季在18°C - 25°C之间,夏季在23°C - 29°C之间
水温 - 大堡礁: 冬季在24°C - 26°C,夏季在27°C - 29°C之间
气温 - 海王星群岛: 冬季在12°C - 17°C之间,夏季在15°C - 23°C之间
水温 - 海王星群岛: 冬季在15°C - 17°C之间,夏季在18°C - 19°C之间

湿衣推荐
针对大堡礁船期:11月至2月期间建议携带3毫米的湿衣,3月至10月期间建议携带5毫米的湿衣
针对南澳大白鲨笼潜船期(海王星群岛) :全年都建议携带7毫米的湿衣,搭配头套,或许还可以再穿一件背心

潜水员级别要求
大堡礁的船宿适合所有水平的潜水员,但是几乎所有前往澳洲大堡礁的船宿游轮都不提供潜导带领服务,所有的潜水都是在潜伴组队下自行潜水的(会提供免费的定向潜水指导和深度讲解的潜水简报),因此潜水员应该具备足够的信心,否则你可能需要额外聘请一个私人潜导。

对于前往海王星群岛船宿(大白鲨笼潜),如果你只使用海面下方的笼子,那么你完全可以不是潜水员。但如果你想下到20米深的海底,那么就需要有OW证了。
