Rodney Fox Great White Shark Expeditions are delighted to have "The Princess II”. Princess provides the unmatched comfort, space and facilities to operate safely in the clear blue offshore waters of the Neptune Islands. We have set this vessel up to be the world's premier operating great white shark diving vessel.
Whilst we still conduct regular cage diving in surface floating cages for non-certified divers, Princess also has the unique facilities to lower certified divers safely down to the ocean floor in our special submersible shark cage. This is our famous and unbeatable world exclusive feature available only to Fox Expedition members. Here we provide undeniably the best Great White observation experience possible. This also gives photographers and cameramen the opportunity to capture the most spectacular and unique great white shark images available anywhere in the world. This is a claim we stand by and don't make lightly! The proof is in the pictures!
All Princess's cabins give the privacy of single, twin share, or double bed cabins, each with a private bathroom. We also have a spacious lounge room like saloon for relaxation and special talks. Other features include a separate single person cage and a warm water deck shower. We also have a large tender boat for fascinating island explorations of the offshore islands wildlife and scenery.
