Even if the media taught us to fear it doesn’t mean we can change our mindset through experience. Sharks aren’t the problem, lack of understanding of their nature is. We need sharks in order to have a beautiful ocean to enjoy. Mahalo @9292anna for giving sharks a chance and speaking up for them! We hope to see you out with us again soon 💙🦈 ・・・ 🌺: Turn fear into fascination. #CageTheFear | 🦈The first and only cage-less shark research and diving program in Hawaii. #PelagicProgram #PelagicSharkProgram #NorthShore #Haleiwa #Oahu #Hawaii When I first decided to swim with sharks it was all about getting an amazing photo (@ivana_sljapic 😆). Then I started to watch documentaries, videos, Ted talks, to learn more about these misunderstood pelagic animals and to read researches about their importance to the health of our ocean, instead of relying on the misleading information that media feed us. The fact is we can #coexist but in order to coexist, they need to exist. 70 to 100 millions sharks are killed every year (mostly for shark fin soup) #SayNoToSharkFinSoup #NotYourFins #StopFinning Their populations are rapidly decreasing around the world and we need to use our voice to spread the awareness #SpeakUpForSharks #HelpSaveSharks #WeNeedSharksAlive cause they are keystone structures to the health of the #Ocean! #SaveTheOcean P.S. we got a bunch of amazing photos! 😁 Mahalo nui loa! @oneoceandiving @oneoceanglobal @oneoceanresearch @oneoceaneducation @oneoceanconservation @oneoceansharks @waterinspired @oneoceandesigns @littleoceantours @oneoceanhawaii @oneoceanbikini https://www.instagram.com/p/BpKrYpYB7VX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4rnsdxsjrdgc

Listen to all that dolphin chatter! Pretty sure that's what heaven sounds like. #Repost @oceanicramsey with @repostapp ・・・ Hoping to score more amazing encounters like this natural #Predatorbuffet #Baitball filmed off #CocosIsland Last year with @mission_blue @nibarguen @kipevansphoto @thisisfusion Now I am on my way to the #galapagosislands part of the #hammerhead triangle and biological corridor with @cressi1946 @galapagosevolution @juansharks @robertoochoahe and @nataliekparra and the board of #Ecotourism for some wonderful projects.

The beautiful, sweet, & ridiculously talented @ninadobrev #freedives peacefully with a school of over 22 sharks with @oneoceandiving lead & photographed by marine conservation photographer @juansharks #JuanOliphant Among the many things we love and admire about #NinaDobrev it is the compassion, concern, & love she's expressed for sharks & marine life & we are thrilled & grateful to have her voice & influence helping #savesharks by speaking up for #thosewithoutavoice 3 sharks are killed every second just for their fins, in the last 4 to 5 decades over 90% of sharks have been killed. Fear is blind. Come learn for yourself just how incredible & important sharks are & you too will realize how devastating it is to us & our oceans to loose them. Mahalo & aloha to fellow supporters & divers @oceanicramsey @cheeklane @hillaryharley @markkassen @adamjlock @k21harris @thesearaider @korigarza @seajewl @eliasharks @waterinspired @mermaid_kayleigh @nataliekparra @honeygirl_ @tracyann_conservationist @madi_makoff @saltandaloha @rooneythegianthamsterdog @gopro @cressi1946 @keoniashley @christiantinman @acaciaswimwear @freestylewatches @discoversharks #internationalsharkproject #hawaiisharkcount #pelagicsharkprogram #saveoursharks #savesharks #protectmarinelife #marineconservation #savetheocean (at Oneoceandiving.com)

Great White size off. Shark behavior 101. Sometimes size matters. These white sharks are playing a little game of chicken & then sizing each other up, this video clip is an example of 2 behaviors, the first is an intimidation maneuver & the second parallel swimming one of many behaviors sharks use to sharks use to determine which shark is more dominant and has more priority over a given territory or point of interest. Sometimes this body language can be displayed towards swimmers, surfers, & divers who may not be as aware, able to see, or familiar enough to determine what the shark is attempting to convey or achieve. Sharks use elaborate and extensive body language to reduce physical confrontation.
