Shark watching tours: Monterey Bay whale watching boats now offering new experience

Deep Blue, a great white shark estimated to be approximately 20 feet long, might be in Hawaii. Divers spotted a large shark whose size and markings were said to resemble those of Deep Blue during a Jan. 15 excursion off Oahu's North Shore.

Tour companies are profiting from the close encounters.

Some boats report seeing 10 or more sharks in a single trip.

Shark watching can be more interactive because sharks will come up close to boats, unlike most whales.
