Have you ever wanted to talk one on one with those who specialize in sharks? Here is your opportunity! The Shark Research Institute is Auctioning an evening with your favorite shark specialist! They are from all over the world. I have either met personally or have actually had the pleasure of diving with a few of those listed for the auction! All proceeds go to the continued conservation and fight for sharks.

[FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]How it works: Bid on a shark expert or celebrity that lives or works nearby, unless you are willing to drive or fly to their location (see list below). The winning bidder pays for the celebrity's meal, and may bring guests. (Exceptions are field researcher Chris Fallows who will be taking his winning bidder out to sea with him to observe white sharks; filmmaker Tom Campbell who will also be taking his bidder on his boat.) Shark Research Institute will introduce each winning bidder to his or her shark celebrity. The two of you then set a mutually convenient date, time and place to get together within 365 days of the close of the auction. [/FONT]
