hi. Its a great movie with a great message but so poorly edited. When they show cocos island and protecting cocos sharks but use footage of sharks from the bahamas. As a diver that drives us nuts. For nondivers they wouldn't know any better which sharks are in cocos. It is a movie that tries to entertain with a message with creative editing not a documentary with true facts on which sharks are in certain locations.
 
I think that the message is super clear, we must take more action. We as divers, should be doing more. I wasn't bothered about the editing or the fact that the shark pics were from other destinations I was more interested in the full depth of the reality. Which sickened me to be completely honest.The scary thing is we can do something all of us, each time you step out of your home and into a market or shop look at what your buying and look at what they are selling, know your products and ingredients. Holland and Barret in the UK were a prime examplt of this. Health food shop, yet they were selling a product that contained shark. I contacted my local branch manager and asked if this was correct. He replied saying that yes it was but not to worry as the type of shark being used was NOT on the list of being extinct!!! So this email I forwarded to practically every person,company, dive center I know.. About 2 weeks later I received another email to say that this product had been taken off the shelves and was no longer going to be produced. But it doesn't stop there.
