Scuba Shark Diving with Sharks. Why do you do it?

Hey there,
As you can see I'm in a bit of a writing splurge at the mo so why waste it? It would be great to try and get some dialog going here so c'mon, let's get stuck in.

It would be cool to get some kind of idea as to why some of you guys feel the need to jump into the middle of what the mainstream media would have us believe to be the monsters of the deep. Is it for 'the Buzz' that adrenalin rush of being in the company of sharks? Is it borne of fascination with… Continue

Scuba Shark Shark Cage Diving a la Gansbaai

Imagery © Morne Hardenberg

Hi All,
Well I recently had a brain bubble and posted the way that I learned to dive with the Tiger Sharks in South Africa. Having seen the many styles and options for diving with Tiger Sharks I thought it only fair to do so. Saying that, south Africa is also, so far, the only place I have ever ventured to attempt shark cage diving.

Fleander Dance with a Tiger

Manuel Lazcano caught a great sequence: a Tiger shark dancing with me. Actually, I think she was interested in my camera - this was not the only instance of a tiger shark coming at my video camera. I had never seen a tiger shark come vertically up the way she did. Of course this was not an aggressive behavior or a quick motion. She came up very slow and by gently hold out my camera I was… Continue

Shark Diver Al's Discount Shark Cages

Years ago I laughed at a Gary Larson's cartoon featuring "Al's Discount Shark Cages," an instant classic. In the 10 years since I have seen little evidence of anyone building shark cages "on the cheap," until today. Thanks Robin for the hat tip. Apparently the new cage rage in Laguna Beach is, wait for it… Continue

Scuba Shark A Message from Shark Savers.

Hi all. When a group of folks get together for a common cause, the results can be awe inspiring, they can instill a sense of incredible satisfaction and achievement.

The incredible show of solidarity, the generous giving by the photographers and the word being spread so that folks could go out and help the cause was, and remains, something that leaves me wi… Continue

Shark Diver The Shark Diving Industry and "Noblesse Oblige"

There's an old French saying “Noblesse Oblige". It roughly translates in to Noble Obligation. Those that are on the front lines of an issue and can effect change have a noble obligation to do so. Which gets us to the state of commercial shark diving worldwide. The industry is valued at $200-300… Continue

Scuba Shark Filming me filming You!

I've had a few cool times in the past few years. Especially when it comes to working with sharks. In November 2008 I started what would be a six month stint of filming the Tiger Sharks of Aliwal Shoal in south Africa. This project was a prototype project to see if a long duration embed would / or could be viable in the hunt for increasingly rare footage. I had been contracted by the 'Crittercam' department at Nat Geo to go and film these striped fish and what a life changing experience it turne… Continue
