The winners of our annual Live Dangerously Contest, affiliates Mandeep and Nir – along with their lovely significant others Bhavika and Adi – just got back from an incredible Shark Dive Grand Prize trip to the Bahamas. Joined by Affiliate Manager Brent Jordan, this action packed one week journey included an amazing stay at the luxurious One & Only Ocean Club resort (as featured in the blockbuster James Bond film Casino Royale), and an incredible real-live shark dive that brought our courageous party of travelers face-to-face with the world’s most fearsome ocean predator.

DAY ONE: ARRIVAL IN PARADISE.

While suffering some jet lag, the group stayed up into the wee hours of the night scaring each other with a million and one different ways they might get eaten alive by sharks.

DAY TWO: DAY OF THE SHARK

D-day. Or, in other words, Day of The Shark. (Cue Jaws music…)

Everyone arrived at the dock at 7 a.m. sharp, wide-eyed and ready to kick some serious shark tooth. First off, the diving crew briefed the travelers on the ins and outs of shark dive protocol. A trusted inside source reports that at this point, a noticeable nervous energy was looming in the air. To their credit, the RevenueWire party wasn’t afraid to ask a lot of questions. 101 of them to be exact. The staff was very generous with their time and answered all of their concerns with a smile. It was clear the dive crew staff were very passionate about sharks, and knew a lot more than the average person about exactly what cut of human flesh sharks like best…

After question and answer period was over, everyone got in the boat and headed out to legendary Tiger Beach. The ride took about 2 hours, and then an additional 30 minutes to drop anchor in just the right spot. When the dive crew found the real estate they were looking for, they started throwing bait into the water with great abandon. Come and get it!

Within the first hour of dropping anchor, some small Tiger sharks, reef sharks and lemon sharks showed up for a snack. After a few more hours had passed, FIVE sharks showed up all at the same time. JACKPOT. The biggest of the five was a 10 foot lemon shark. Woah. Seriously. That’s a whole lot of real live shark. Better keep your fingers inside the cage…

So what did our brave travelers do next? Everyone took turns in the cage, while the dive instructors swam to the bottom of the cage taking pictures and recording video. These divers truly had nerves of steel. They were calm and collected under what would seem like intense pressure to any rookie shark diver. Truly amazing.

For the RW crew, seeing sharks that close up was a surreal and exhilarating experience, and definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Mandeep was able to conquer his fear of water, and was fully submerged for more than 30 minutes at a time by the end of the day. Brent forever squashed his longtime fear of sharks, and Nir showed his guts by swimming outside the cage while the sharks weren’t around, completely surrounded by fresh bait! Now that’s the true definition of living dangerously.

Stay tuned to see the shark video footage and photos coming soon!

DAY THREE TO DAY FIVE: MAXIMUM CHILLING.

After the shark dive, it was time for R&R. As they pulled up to the same area that James Bond rolled up into in Casino Royale, the RW party was welcomed in style by a group of friendly hotel staff members. Once inside, everyone knew this hotel was on a whole different level of hospitality.

The next few days at the Ocean Club were “pure bliss.” In Nir’s words, “it was like walking in heaven.” The level of service and luxury was beyond amazing – including 24 hour butler service, champagne room service, panoramic ocean views, incredible food, a stunning white sand beach with clear aquamarine water, and so much more. All in all it was the experience of a lifetime.

RevenueWire would like to thank the shark dive crew, the One&Only Ocean Club resort, Mandeep, Nir, Bhavika and Adi, and of course James Bond, for making this trip a great success. We look forward to announcing our next INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE CONTEST!

Also – stay tuned for our FINAL SHARK DIVE COMIC STRIP, starring Mandeep, Nir, Bhavika Adi and Brent! IT’S COMING SOON ALONG WITH LIVE VIDEO OF THE SHARK DIVE AND MORE PHOTOS TOO!
