Shark Diving & Shark Wrangling!

A Surreal Experience.

We were a little apprehensive at first. But once in the water, our minds and hearts seem to calm naturally, without any effort. All of a sudden all fears melted away, and we were in awe – it was a magnificient experience to see one of God’s most feared & misunderstood creatures in their natural habitat. They paid little attention to us, they just swam by gracefully.  After the feeding frenzy, they just returned to casually cruising around, and we had no fear reaching the surface and climbing out of the water. It was not what we expected at all.

NOTE: Frozen Chum harms sharks, it breaks their teeth. Hand Feeding, trains them to seek out humans for food. Stella Maris Long Island has been conducting safe dives for both sharks and humans since the 1950’s. Don’t support operations that don’t respect these safe practices.

You are about to witness shark wrangling, no sharks were hurt in the making of this video. We tie a piece of dead bate fish through the gills with a thick piece of rope. There are no hooks or sharp objects that may harm the shark. The shark bite on to the fish and rope, and are free to let go when ever they want. It is in their nature to shake their heads viciously, this process saws off a piece of meat and sometimes the entire rope. The sharks are having as much fun from this as we are. They are free to come and go, bite and release the fish as they please.
