Shark diving...I went to False Bay recently for a trip. It was amazing. I'm actually doing a bit of research on it at the moment and belong to a conservation shark group...awesome animals.

The thing with shark tourism is, that there are a few management issues facing this type of tourism...what can you guys think of?

for example, the issue of chum is a serious management issue at the moment. with some public groups saying it is doing harm to the species...shark operators havn't really addressed but some are beginning to only use remains of fish now unlike before where they would specifically use a certain fish for chum.

Other issues?

Maybe the fac tthat great whites are now an endangered species. what has been done to address these issues?

Can you guys think of other issues?
