You want to dive with sharks and Bluewater Travel wants to help book the perfect trip at the lowest possible price. And more importantly, we’re starting a conversation.
We’ve excluded whale sharks in order to focus on the fast action of predatory sharks for this list. Whatever your flavor, these are destinations/dives that should be high on all shark-minded divers’ trip lists. Some divers love the high-energy action of chumming and shark feeding some get into cages with huge Great Whites some travel to sharky waters for wild encounters and some swim alongside gentle whale sharks. It’s the same thrill many shark divers seek out on a regular basis - a balance of adrenaline and beauty. This wild experience sent chills down my spine and a barrage of thoughts as I came back to the surface. I instinctively looked left to where the fish came from, where a massive black triangle faded into the deep water of the channel. Suddenly the perfect quiet was broken by the clap of tails on scales as a school of surgeonfish darted in front of me towards the shallower water. The abundant marine life moved in all directions and I was enchanted by a couple large triggerfish. The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources said that the decomposing whale carcass had drifted to about eight miles south of Pearl Harbour after being towed 15 miles offshore days earlier.This past February I was snorkeling in the Galapagos, down around 20 feet drifting along the side of a narrow channel between islands. The bill died in the House when it was not heard by the House Judiciary Committee. State senator Mike Gabbard sponsored the shark protection legislation last session and plans to reintroduce it this year. "The idea that they see people as a food source, that is rubbish and that needs to go away because really that is ultimately leading to the demise of these animals," Mr Oliphant said. Ms Ramsey and Mr Oliphant want to make sure that people realise that shark bites are uncommon.
We need them for healthy marine ecosystems." "You can't hate them for being predators. "So there's not a lot of sympathy for sharks because of the way they're portrayed in media and they don't have the cute cuddly appearance," Ms Ramsey said. Unlike many marine mammals, sharks are not a federally protected species, though there are laws against the sale of their fins. She also leads cage-free shark diving tours. She said she previously swam with the huge shark on research trips to Guadalupe Island, Mexico. Ms Ramsey and her team observe behaviour, identify and tag sharks and share that data with researchers as well as state and federal officials.

She teaches people about how to act and, more importantly, not act when they encounter a shark in the water. She said extensive training and time spent studying shark behaviour has kept her team and customers safe. Still, the seasoned shark diver does not think the general public should recklessly get into the water with the giants, especially around a food source like a rotting whale carcass. Ms Ramsey, who operates Oahu-based One Ocean Diving and Research with Mr Oliphant, said the images of her swimming next to a huge great white shark prove the predators should be protected, not feared. Ramsey said that images of her swimming next to a huge great white shark prove that these top predators should be protected, not feared. Ms Ramsey said she has been pushing for a bill that would ban the killing of sharks and rays in Hawaii for several years, and hopes this year the measure will actually become law. The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources said it was aware of photos of the great white and that tiger sharks have also been feeding on the whale. The couple, who are experienced shark experts and divers, are calling for more legislation to protect Great Whites like this in Hawaii. Her fiance and business partner, Juan Oliphant, was able to capture the moment on camera and said it's not yet clear if this was the elusive Deep Blue, a Great White believed to be the largest ever seen. Two researchers met the giant creature in the seas off Hawaii and lived to tell the tale.Ĭonservationist and researcher Ocean Ramsey came across the incredible predator off the coast of Oahu near a dead sperm whale. This amazing picture shows the moment a diver encountered what could be the largest great white shark ever seen.
