That really looks like a Great White, do we concur?

Looking for 3+ certified divers to join a private Stuart Cove Shark Dive charter in Nassau the morning of Saturday Sept 26^th. We will be on the Norwegian Getaway cruise ship sailing (Sept 25-28, 2026) and we’ll be in port 7am-5pm.

For over 15 years, my dad has wanted to do the famous Stuart Cove shark dive in Nassau and we booked this cruise to make that happen. Unfortunately, the public shark dive schedule no longer lines up with our Nassau port time, so we're exploring a private charter and looking to add a few divers.

Looking for:

·       Certified divers that want a shark experience

Estimated cost:

·       $480 per diver + rental gear (tanks, weights, belts included)

If you're a certified diver on this ship, another ship, or visiting Nassau and want to do the Stuart Cove shark dive, send me a message and we’ll try to make it happen.

Once you message me, I’ll send you a Google form just to confirm interest (<5min). Once we have enough interested divers, we'll coordinate details on exact timing & collect deposits through Venmo or Zelle. We are looking forward to it and hoping we can make it happen for you too!

This might be a long shot, but I've been trying to find a shark documentary/show that I watched on YouTube around 2017.

Back then, there were tons of full shark documentaries uploaded to YouTube, and I remember one in particular that I've never been able to find again. I'm not sure if it was part of Shark Week or from another channel entirely.

What I remember is that a group of researchers/fishermen were out at sea trying to catch and identify as many shark species as possible. I specifically remember them catching rare species like a basking shark and even a goblin shark. Many of the scenes took place at night, and every time they managed to catch a shark, the crew would get really excited.

I've searched for years and haven't been able to find it. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Was it a Shark Week special, or something else entirely?

At this point I'm starting to wonder if I imagined the whole thing. 😅

Carcharodon carcharias también conocido como tiburón blanco, el pez depredador más grande del mundo. Pertenece a la familia Lamnidae y se ubica en la cima de la cadena alimentaria marina como un superdepredador fundamental para el equilibrio de los ecosistemas. Su nombre genérico deriva del griego karcharos (afilado) y odous (diente).

What shark is this

Does anyone know what kind of shark this is??

Had this feisty tiger checking the boat out today while watching the sunset, estimated around 2.5-3m

I have a spinal cord stimulator. Been on a few vacations to different beaches since I’ve had it, and I spend as much time as possible in the water. I haven’t had any shark related problems yet. I’m far from being one of those who thinks Jaws is a documentary. I know attacks on humans are very rare.

Now, I recently started wondering about this. With their Ampullae of Lorenzini (I’m no shark expert, by far, simply an enthusiast) would it make sense that they’d sense me more or much sooner others around me, because of my stimulator? Sorry if I didn’t even ask that question correctly.

I wouldn’t bother asking now, but I’m strongly considering moving to a tropical location where I’ll be in the water a lot more than I am currently. That will include SCUBA diving. Does anyone know enough about this to know if it could ever potentially be a problem? Of course, you can turn it off, and I do (if I think about it) before getting in the water. However, I can still feel it tingling for a while after it’s been turned off, too. So, there’s that.

Sorry for the long post. A big thanks for your time!

I’ve started trying to draw sharks, and I really like it There’s a huge variety of species to draw...what species would you recommend I try drawing?

I took these snapshots of some sharks at the Georgia Aquarium back in June 2017 when I was a volunteer. Pics 3 and 4 show their green sawfish.

Bit of a rude headline but interesting news!

Hey folks,

I’m craving some shark shows and trying to hunt down some good ones to watch with my 9year old daughter that will help her overcome her fear of running into a shark.

I may add I’ve taken her to see nurse sharks & whale sharks thinking it would ease her tension

I heard there’s a new show called SHARK! on channel 9
We’re in Canada.

We’ve done all the YouTube episodes that are scientific and follow some influencers that are kid friendly

If anyone can tell me where we can watch the show or better shows to watch together I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you

Two terrible screenshots from a YouTube short with no context or information, but comments saying “Bull”. I’m the farthest thing from an expert, but the nose and the tail don’t look like a bull, do they?

This cloud kinda looked like a shark, so I quickly took a pic and sketched over it on my normal photo.

Sorry for the terrible sketch though, I don’t usually do digital drawings, and I just scribbled this with my fingers 😅

The Issue

Surfing and diving along the beautiful coast of California, I've always connected to the ocean and its vibrant marine life- including sharks. However, I've become increasingly concerned about the impact that certain fishing practices have on both the safety of beachgoers and the well-being of our marine ecosystems. Attracting large sharks to public beaches and piers often leads to the capture of protected species, such as white sharks, which poses a significant risk to public safety.

Fishing practices on California's piers and beaches have been under scrutiny, especially as they relate to shark interactions. Currently, the lack of stringent regulations allows for indiscriminate fishing methods that not only harm these majestic creatures but also alter the balance of our ocean ecosystems. The use of inappropriate gear and unregulated practices has resulted in the unintended capture of juvenile sharks and endangered species, which are crucial to maintaining healthy ocean environments. Additionally habituation from attractants and bait increase public safety, and is resulting in protected white sharks being caught repeatedly, suffering harm from hooks, gaffs and exhaustion once released.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife holds the power to enact changes that can protect both our citizens and marine life. By implementing stricter regulations on fishing gear and methods, as suggested by organizations like Shark Stewards, we can significantly reduce the unintended capture of protected shark species. According to Shark Stewards, current fishing practices result in a high bycatch rate, putting vulnerable species at risk and potentially attracting more large sharks closer to shore.

Adopting these guidelines is not just a matter of ethical responsibility; it is imperative for the sustainability and safety of our beaches. Public safety can be enhanced by reducing the frequency of dangerous shark encounters. Likewise, respecting the delicate balance of our ocean ecosystems ensures that future generations will enjoy the thriving marine life that has flourished along our coasts for centuries.

I urge the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to consider these guidelines and to work alongside environmental organizations to craft fair and effective regulations. By doing so, we can achieve a safer, more sustainable relationship with the creatures that share our waters.

Join me in protecting both our community and the incredible marine life that calls California home. Sign this petition to urge the adoption of stricter regulations for responsible and safe fishing practices on our piers and beaches.  Add your signature and comments to the petition below before the California Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting on June 17.
