- Steve Jenkins: My New Best Friends Are Sharks
Despite a lifetime spent swimming, surfing and fishing in the ocean, I harbored a primal and irrational fear of sharks. This trip changed that to a fascination and respect of these majestic and beautiful sharks.
- Jaime Bowers: Lemons and Tigers and Great Hammers, Oh My…
How can you sum up the trip of a lifetime? A trip where you were privileged to meet and interact with so many sharks you lost count? The Great Hammerhead and Tiger Shark Liveaboard Dive trip to the Bahamas was one of those experiences you can never quite express the words for how amazing it was and how very lucky we were to be a part of the lives of the fantastic sharks that inhabit the waters off the Bahamian coast, even if only for a few days… - Michael Stocks: My Dream Came True-Shark Diving in the Bahamas
I recently returned from a diving trip with the Shark Angels to Tiger Beach in the Bahamas, it was hands-down one of the best diving experiences I’ve ever had. And that was thanks in no small part to the Shark Angels themselves. I want to take you through how fantastic every detail of the trip was, from the boat & crew, the food, the diving, through to the group themselves…
- Kevin Sabo: My Body Does Not Contain an Anti-Shark Repellent
Despite diving for decades and instructing for several years, I had concluded that my body contained a special toxin that acted as a shark repellent for all but the smallest nurse sharks. I was relegated to watching fellow divers interact with these beautiful creatures on social media…
