Repost from our co-founder @oceanramsey with some interesting information and insight into sharks 😉🦈 // “Disclaimer: Please don’t just jump in with a large shark without a reputable experienced guide who operates in a conservative manner. Be safe, respectful, and never complacent. Photo by @juansharks BTS recording #SharkID s for @oneoceansharks a free searchable digital ID who goal is to catalog individual sharks around #Hawaii and the world utilizing tech and social interfaces for community involvement. If you see a shark and you get a clear picture of the left and right side please use the hashtag #SharkID and tag @oneoceansharks along with the approximate location to be added to the database. Recording with @gopro or @axisgo Wetsuits with a portion of proceeds to conservation by @xcelhaleiwa @xcelwetsuits I generally recommend full coverage for people working professionally with sharks or purposefully diving in close proximity of areas where sharks are known to frequent as lighter skin can be more eye catching. I generally even cover my hands to avoid unnecessary attention or possible confusion of them being separate. The pattern you see on this one is made from a photo of a large tiger shark and it’s design is called: Biomimicry: the design and production of materials, structures, and systems that are modeled on biological entities and processes. We cannot say that biomimicry alone would deter sharks but certainly mimicking a predator in appearance and behavior, rather than a prey item, would be advised in the company of predators. #sharkbehavior101 #divingwithsharks #sharksafety (at North Shore, Haleiwa, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxvha2LnxlJ/?igshid=16z3rejpc1ugg
