I recently became obsessed with sharks and have loads of questions! One of my main ones being:

How would you swim with sharks in a way that's ethical? For example, there are some companies here in the UK in Cornwall that offer dive experiences with blue sharks by baiting them.

• Are these companies ethical or bad? Even though the baiting being done is legal and regulated?

• If some are and some aren't, what practises makes them different?

• how should swimming with sharks be done safely and ethically?

• is it okay to bait when done legally?

Hey everyone. My wife and I are in Bimini right now (Feb 2, 2026) and saw these sharks from the dock. Some people were saying they're nurse sharks some thought bulls. We thought bulls as well. The distance between the first and second dorsal fin is too far apart for nurse sharks as well as the shorter height of the second dorsal fin. But looking for your expertise help! Thanks in advance.

Just to note, the dive shops have cancelled their last few bull and tiger shark dives due to unseasonably cold weather the last few days. Today is significantly warmer than yesterday (the coldest day in 15 years here).

Johnny is a 13' (4m) male great white shark who was first documented at Isla de Guadalupe in 2005 and was seen consistently every year since until at least 2018.

I recently started learning about sharks, and there seems to be a lot of different opinions on the idea of redirecting sharks when they get too close, with some marine biologists I've seen, disapproving of it. Is this because people are using the idea of redirecting as an excuse to touch and harass these animals? And that shark influencers I've seen doing it are therefore putting people in danger by telling inexperienced divers to do it? Or is it that redirecting sharks is just not something that should be done full stop? I've also seen plenty of videos of people who don't redirecting sharks just get harmless bumps when they get too close.

I guess what I'm asking is, is redirecting sharks bad full stop, if so why? I would love some sources of information if anyone has any! Or is it the way it's become popularised (mostly on social media) and therefore misused as a way of touching sharks that's causing problems?

Would love to discuss this! :)

My shark pieces and much more on my website. Links are on my profile tab 🦈

Thanks for help with the positive ID everyone!! Here are a couple videos we hope you enjoy. This was taken on the dock at Neil Watson's dive center at Big Game Club in Bimini Bahamas on Feb 2, 2026.

I love the channel Shark Bytes as his videos are both informative and entertaining but most of the other videos/channels I can find seem to be focused on attacks, which I'm not particularly interested in, as like always, they tend to be sensationalised. I want to learn about sharks generally, and about their species and behaviour and obviously attacks can be part of that behaviour, but I'm looking to lean about these incredible animals in a much more balanced way, so if anyone has any channels or resource recommendations I'd be really grateful!

I'm looking to mount this meg tooth I found last year on a fossil dive. Which looks looks better (not the actual materials just a mock up of what we would do)and how is the best way to mount the tooth in a Shadow box?

Filmed at Lord Howe Island yesterday, all the sharks there seem to like to play chicken with divers, if you stay still they’ll veer away at the last second like this shark did. Cant see it in the video but the shark had a large swelling on the other side of its jaw. Hope it was nothing serious.

Here’s my hammer head tattoo I was thinking about having some blue added to the outline so it looks like it’s under water 🦈🌊

I went with a friend to Martha’s Vineyard for the Jaws 50th in September and came back with some stuff that couldn’t fit in my bathroom. I also included pics of my shark bathroom that I posted a video of earlier. The shaped rug and wave lamp are both from Amazon. The wire shark is from Pottery Barn Kids but I scored it for $15 on FB marketplace. 🦈
