We did another shark dive yesterday. Had a few Makos come in. Also a huge ray. I spent close to 4hrs in the water with hunters of the deep OR past hunters of the. It seems like man has taken that title away from them.
Sharks use to be at the top of the food. There use to be so many of them and left alone they can reproduce at a good rate. I remember back in the days when you could see Blues cruising the 2 coves in La Jolla and good size ones.
The last few times we have done these trips there have been few in numbers. Since I have been doing these trips with Doc Anes I have become or becoming more concern to the health of the shark
population. Its not just a local problem but a global one. Since
they cruise the world in search of food & love.
Yes love. I have found these creatures to be very affectionate &
protective toward me when I'm in the water with them. They are
competitive for food but I have had BIG Makos cuddle up to me while Blue's were around. No it did seem that they were protecting the chum but me. They would follow me back to the boat wait and go back down along side me as I exchanged divers. They would allow the Blue's to continue to feed. When I went back into place they didn't mind others to come and feed but got really pissed if one would try to check me out.
The Blue's are very curious much more at ease around people. Yes
the chum brings them in but once there in they are very interested in meeting these awkward & noisy creature that have jumped into there world. They are so interested that they don't even bother with a free dinner sometimes. They seem to almost trying to communicate. They come right up to my mask with eyes wide open and just stare into me exploring ways to communicate.
I have loved & enjoyed this opportunity that Doc Anes of
www.sdsharkdiving.com has given me to be able to interact with these highly intelligent & compassionate creature. I don't know what we can do to stop the hunting of these creatures but I do know they need our help.
Finning by some countries is out of control by some countries. They kill every thing in path with murderous nets that scoop up every thing and just keep the the fins of sharks. These nets are
indiscriminate killers snatching up every thing it can for for a
ship full of fins and nothing else. Do you know how many sharks and other creatures are killed just to fill one of these huge killing ship with the fins of sharks. ITS REALLY SICK. And the killing for trophies.
Sorry for the long winded post but we as diver who are uninvited
guest should do some thing to protect them for future uninvited
guest.
