🦈 What do you do when you see a #shark while #diving ? 🌊

Sharks are wild predators and should never be taken lightly, but most pose little to no threat to divers. Instead of being feared, these beautiful animals should be respected. Contrary to popular belief, sharks are also quite afraid of humans! Being apex predators, it is natural that sharks will fear or stay away from the unknown.

👀 **Stay Calm and Observe** 👀
If a shark comes close enough for you to even know they are there, they are just curious to see what you are. Most people do not realize that typically there are not many organisms that blow bubbles underwater as you do through a diving regulator. Some of the more curious species of fish and marine life will come and see that unique spectacle! They are not interested in eating you or even testing to see if you taste good. Upon entering any animals’ habitat, you must be aware that it’s their territory, and you must beware if they are displaying any behaviors that suggest they are feeling threatened by your presence. Such behavior includes arched backs and downward-facing fins. This would be a sign they are scared of you being there, or that you have encroached on their area where they are mating. Just stay calm and swim slowly out of the immediate area. They won’t typically react unless you provoke them.

🍽️ **Remember You’re Not on Their Menu** 🍽️
Contrary to popular folklore, Man-Eating Sharks are not a reality, not in the literal sense. Of course, there have been the occasional unfortunate surfers or swimmers that had a bite taken out of them, but it is a case of mistaken identity. The shark thought they were seals because of how they looked while swimming. The sharks usually don’t go back for a second bite when they realize the unfortunate victim’s actual species. If you’re deep under the water, you are even less likely to run into the chance of being bitten by a shark. Most sharks hunt at the surface, and others look for small injured fish, not large bubble-blowing bulky divers.

📸 **Take Pictures and Share with Friends** 📸
The best part about #diving with #sharks is the memories. You get to be a part of the exclusive “I swam with #sharks ” club! It is amazing to see these creatures glide effortlessly through the water and to observe their ancient body mechanics flex and contract as they make their way around the corals and fish in the water. Their ease through #the_ocean is mesmerizing and something only a few of us get to witness.

Whether you’re a first-timer or an experienced diver, diving with sharks can be an unforgettable experience! 🦈🌊 #scubadiving #surfingwaves #turtle #the_oceans #shark #scubadiver #divinglife #divingday #divingdeep #sharks
