Re: What do freedive spearos think of surface shark feeding tourism?

FYI - both surface hand feeding and bottom hand feeding are happening in the Jupiter region. From a post yesterday:

Cameron Nimmo on Instagram: “Open wide, me working with the lemons while @sharkaddicts2 films , aboard @emeraldcharters”

Hope they don't get too attached to them as there are far more divers that will defend their personal space with extreme prejudice.

Re: What do freedive spearos think of surface shark feeding tourism?

This isn't suppose to happen we (State of Fla) stopped this practice a few years back (feeding sharks). I once free dove on the Budweiser. The boat there when we got there was a scuba boat. They were coming up and instead of going to the next spot we decided to wait 30 minutes after they left to dive the wreck. The divers said we were crazy because there was sharks all over the place. With the bubblers gone 30 minutes later we didn't see a single shark. Apparently, sharks got use to bubblers feeding them!

A story about brave divers picked up by MSN:

Looks like that Brazilian television documentary was filmed in February based on this:

"Karine Dal Toe & Jupiter Sharks with Emerald Charters"

Divers risk their lives feeding sharks by putting them in 'trance'

You massage the tiger sharks nose and it relaxes them.

There's a few things I might would massage but a "Tiger Shark's Nose" is not one of them
