Reefcam captures interesting shark footage

Footage from the Australian Institute of Marine Science’s Baited Remote Underwater Video Stations (BRUVS) is making news in Australia’s The Courier-Mail. While The Courier-Mail article claims the video features a tiger shark “stalking” a sea snake, it certainly looks more like the tiger shark is “stalking” bait attached to the BRUVS unit, based on the [...]

Images of free-divers with tiger and great white sharks featured in UK press

The Daily Mail and The Sun both featured articles reporting on a set photos of free-divers, William Winram and Pierre Frolla, seen diving with tiger sharks and great white sharks. The motivation behind the dives and the photos was to dispel myths about the two species. While neither The Sun nor The Daily Mail were [...]

The perils of fishing at Guadalupe during white shark season

Sport Fishing with Dan Hernandez posted the video seen below on YouTube. This is what happens when you try to reel in a tuna at Isla de Guadalupe when there are white sharks around. They don’t call it the “Island of the Great White Shark” for nothing.

Great white shark ruled out as suspected species in Florida shark attack

The Sun Sentinel is reporting that George Burgess, Florida Program for Shark Research Director, has determined that the species involved in yesterday’s fatal shark attack off Stuart Beach, FL was a member of the requiem family, which includes tiger sharks, bull sharks, blacktip sharks, and spinner sharks. Burgess examined the bite wounds on the victim [...]

Widenham Surf In the office it's cold and some snow has fallen. Surely it's not much to ask, to live by the sea and dive more often than not, is it?

I had the same most pleasurable and emotional experience with an octopus when I lived in the Bahamas. We would play for at least a month and a half every day at dusk (which was when I came back from work). The octopus lived right in front of our con…

In regards to David's description of photographers laying on the reef, etc. I don't agree with people laying on the reef for sure. However, there may be a time and place for some people to do some small "disobeying" if appropriate. On an expedition…

I somewhat agree with Terry. The first person I watched interact with marine creatures was an instructor whom I helped as an assistant instructor. First he allowed cleaner shrimp and gobies to jump on his hand (their choice). Then he allowed a brist…

Starting out, I would suggest getting a middle- or top-line Canon or Olympus point&shoot camera, and housing it separately (whether with Canon/Olympus' own housings, or Ikelite, etc.). I've heard too many mixed reviews of the Sealife brand (bad reso…

(Great points, Sean, David.) I can see at least one aspect of this issue that might be more clear-cut and definitive: is it your dive, or are you part of a group? Are you the divemaster? If the latter(s), I think it might be pretty simple: Do NOT t…

This is a good question, one to which I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer! There may be some of us that enjoy the interaction and who respect the fact we have been allowed the opportunity to interact with another species, Then there are o…

Well, that idiot who hit the shark on the snout should have been reprimanded for such riugh behavior. I can claim to have some experience handling (and caressing) tiger sharks. I can tell you that I NEVER had the experience David had because I woul…
