Still have mixed feelings on feeding dives, but this was an awesome write up. I'll have to try one of these dives so I can further judge for myself.
One of my last dives before moving to ATL from S. Florida last year was on a non-feeding JDC dive on the Bonaire (and the other two wrecks), I have a lot of solo experience but my heart tried to pound itself out of my chest when a tiger swam out of the 'haze' as I was drifting off the Bonaire's stern, by myself, getting ready to head up to the surface. I was hoping that the tiger wouldn't mistake my gopro case for a fish! I still get chills (in a good way) thinking about the encounter.

My analogy is this, when we go visit Yellowstone or Yosemite is it ok to feed the bears?

I missed that part but yeah it is an apt analogy. I am still undecided on the ethics or lack of with shark feeding.

I won't enter the fray. I would rather be having canned dives feeding the sharks, than some other boat finning them.
Great review of your experience. Thanks for creating this awesome resource for us!
