SHARK DIVING
How to dive with bull sharks?
IT IS AN INCREDIBLE
FEELING. THE FIRST
ENCOUNTER UNDER WATER
WITH THESE ANIMALS IS
EVERYTHING;
OUTSTANDING
BREATHTAKING
FANTASTIC
UNFORGETTABLE.
This is the extreme scuba diving experience for certified divers who want to experience
the most thrilling dive in the world.
WHAT TO EXPECT
FROM BULL SHARKS?
Despite what Jaws has done
to stereotype sharks, these
apex predators come in all
shapes and sizes.
Bulls might not be bus-size
behemoths — they normally
grow between 7 and 11 feet
long
Bull sharks have quite the
reputation for being short-
tempered
ALL SHAPES AND SIZES BETWEEN 7 AND 11 FEET LONG SHORT-TEMPERED
FACTS ABOUT
BULL SHARKS
Max Length: Up to 11 feet
Max Weight: Between 200-500
pounds
Life Span: 13-17 years
Status: Near threatened
FUN FACT:
Bull sharks are able to survive long
periods of time in fresh water thanks
to their kidneys, which adjust to suit
the salinity of the water they're in.
5 TIPS ON STAYING CALM IN
THE WATER
1. Accept That Though You're in Their Territory, You're Not on the Menu
2. Don’t Look At Their Mouths
3. Steady Your Breathing and Talk to Yourself
4. Keep Your Hands to Yourself
5. Act Natural. Losing your cool and thrashing around is the easiest way
(other than diving with an open wound) to join the ocean’s food chain.
BEFORE YOU SIGN UP FOR DIVE
WITH SHARKS, GATHER SOME INFO.
Any location with good
diving has one or more
dive shops. These local
professionals know the
sites and dangers better
than anyone.
SEARCH FOR A DIVE
BUDDY. Some important
questions to know are
"Does it storm
regularly?" or "How fast
do storms arise in this
location?"
CHECK THE WEATHER.
On your first dives it is
better to go with a dive
operator. They have dove
the area hundreds of
times and will know which
sites are best for
beginners.
LET YOUR DIVE OPREATOR
KNOW IF YOU ARE A
BEGINNER.
LISTEN CAREFULLY!
Before the dive, the dive master will (or should) tell you where you
are entering in relation to the site, where you will be going, how
long you will be under, what the max depth will be, what
signals you will use, what to do if you need to leave the dive
early, what sites you will see and how long a safety stop you will
do (it should be at least 3 minutes).
THANK YOU
Feel your adrenaline and enjoy a thrilling dive with
bull sharks free in the ocean!
