wanna dive with sharks

[Dr. Doug Ebersole]

Also check out Jim Abernethy's Scuba Advetures (www.scuba-adventures.com) in Riviera Beach, Florida. They do shark/dolphin live-aboard trips to the Bahamas which are outstanding. They also do dedicated shark live-aboard trips -- Carribean reef, tigers, great hammerheads, lemons, bulls, etc. I did a shark/dolphin trip last summer that was outstanding! Check out the photos on my website (www.debersole.com) under the Gallery and click on Wetpixel -- Bahamas

Seattle. Here you can dive with six-gill sharks year-round, lately.

Try the Walkers Cay Shark Rodeo. I never get tired of it.

I'll second Diversauras. For sharks in their natural environment (no feeding necessary), Cocos is incredible. You'll see hammerheads, white tips, silkies, black tips, silver tips. I've never tried the shark feeding dives but wouldn't mind checking that out one of these days.

Hey for sixgills in Seattle, who will take you out to find them?

No, I prefer to dive with the Garibaldi's in SoCal.........they are way more dangerous.

South Africa calls the sandtigers, raggies.

You can also dive with them around Sydney (there's a cavern full of them at a site called "Magic Point"; approx. 15m - I've been there 3 times)—they call them grey nurse sharks in Australia. There’s also Thailand, where you can see lots of gray reefs and the occasional bull shark around Chumporn Pinnacle near Ko Tao. I’m off to Layang Layang (Swallow Reef, Spratly Islands) soon to (hopefully) dive with the hammerheads.

Thailand and South Africa seem closer to where I live. Id love to go to North and South America but too much money and visa problems!

Am back from Layang Layang - on the last day, we found a school of Sphyrna lewini (scalloped hammerheads) at around 38-45m; at least fifty sharks. It was just incredible. We also saw a lone hammerhead on a previous dive, as well as too many whitetip reef sharks and the occasional greyreefs.

South Africa is the place to be

Come down to Protea Banks, Tiger Sharks... Raggies... Hamemrheads and even a Great White if you are lucky!
