Dos and don'ts

When diving near sharks, there are a few things you should know. Stay close to the shore is the most important thing. Sharks are attracted by fish that make exaggerated moves in the water. You might even become a competitor to the fish, since it's possible to compare yourself with the image in their search. Avoid places with murky water or steep drop-offs. Also, don't wear clothing with high contrast. Sharks can sense contrasts and can see through it. Likewise, don't wear shiny jewelry. And, remember to not make splashes.

Course requirements

An important part of any shark dive experience is mastering the skills to dive with them. While sharks themselves can be dangerous, safe diving is much more difficult due to the large number of sharks in the water. Divers should be aware that the ocean itself can be much more dangerous then sharks. If you plan on diving with sharks, it is important to know how to safely operate digital gear and to discuss logistics.
