Thank you for your sage advice, I will take it onboard. Ironically a few posts back you asserted "You will never get close enough to touch sharks unless you do baited dives"......what??
I've never done a baited dive in my life and never will. Don't mistake humour as ignorance, I've worked on coastal ecology projects where our cook of all people had a weird bond with a tawny nurse he named britney ... Tonic immobility is a wonderful thing.
I don't spearfish so I'm not luring sharks to me.....think I'm just going to keep on doing what I've been doing. It's not rare at all for me to not see sharks of some species most dives but I will keep your tips in mind, thanks.
When they put sharks in tonic it is a baited dive. You may not see it in the video, but there is a bait box down there with them.
There are a couple different kinds of tonic and ways to put a shark in tonic. Silky's being the easiest, you put your hand on their head on pull on their pectoral fin.
Nurse sharks being the exception, they are not as afraid of you as other sharks.
