• Wolf hand feeding Shark!!!!

  Over the years we have seen some incredible interactions between Wolf and Sharks...but this is the Everest of feeding a Shark.

  Nice find on the Fiji Shark Diving blog...fishermen and whale sharks learn to coexist in a region that usually is not safe for these large and gentle animals.

• To touch or not to touch sharks - that is the question...

  
  ... that flares up every so often.
  My good pal Mike Neumann abhors these discussions, however, he posted two most eloquent and well balanced blogs on the subject which are worth to be read by those who dive with sharks. I won't participate in these' [...]
