Not long ago, people who dive with sharks were considered stupid, reckless, or just crazy. However, this impossible thing has now become a new "adventure sport". There are about 300 places in the world where you can dive with sharks, which can give many opportunities to those who are afraid to see these dangerous carnivores.
In these oceans, diving in cages is the best way to watch great white sharks. You don't need to dive by yourself, because most navigators will give you a quick training before you get into the cage. Once you enter the cage, you can feed the sharks from the cage by hand or tube.
"This is an experience you will never forget," said a lecturer. "We once let a 5-year-old child into the cage, and the oldest is 76 years old. He made an appointment for this activity the next year. "
Diving with sharks is controversial. This sport gathers a large number of sharks in a sea area, which has an impact on the entire marine ecosystem. For example, in South Africa, in a place where "shark diving" is very popular, seven navigators tried to attract the attention of sharks. Environmentalists say that sharks are losing their natural fear of humans and regard humans as food providers.
On the other hand, one of the strongest arguments about "shark diving" is that it is the best way to educate people about sharks. "We want to tell people that sharks are misunderstood," said the navigator. They are not the dangerous creatures we saw in the movie Jaws. "Shark diving" can take us into the habitat of this terrible animal-even if they are angry at the railing of the cage, we are only one arm away from them.
As one customer said, "This is a life-changing experience like the Richter scale 10 earthquake. When you have seen the shark's open mouth under the water, nothing else is important to you! "
