A growing number of scuba divers are doing the unthinkable. They go in search of sharks- and take them on, eyeball to eyeball, without any special protection.
Crazy? No, they simply know what many are learning; the myth of the shark as the mindless, emotionless, attack-on-sight killer simply isn't true. Sharks are cautious, wise hunters and quite frankly, we are not on the menu. While sharks are found everywhere in the world's oceans, most divers go a lifetime without even a single shark experience. In the Bahamas, it has taken years of work to develop situations allowing close, non-threatening interaction between shark and human, both co-existing together in the midst of a wild, natural environment.
"Shark Encounters of the Bahamas" invites you along for the most exciting undersea ride of your life! Come with us as we swim within touching distance of dozens of sharks. Along the way, you will gain a new understanding of why sharks so seldom attack humans, what their place is in the oceans, why we are more dangerous to them than they are to us, and why some species are becoming increasingly more endangered.
