Ocean Ramsey Sharks

The two most important skills you need when diving with sharks are awareness so you can make**eye contact** and **control of your own position in the water.** For more information, check out @OneOceanDiving or follow @juansharks .

Special moments with Roxy Girl 💙 It’s been a few years since we’ve seen Roxy on the North Shore of Oahu however, we hope to see her next tiger season 🙏🏽 Book a dive with us at oneoceandiving.com to learn more about the biology and behavior of sharks as well as safety in the water with them 🌊 @@juansharks@@OneOceanDiving ##sharks##sharkdiving##sharktours##hawaii##oneoceandiving

Sharks are attracted to metal because their sensory system, the *ampullae of Lorenzini*, picks up on electrical currents in the water. When metal is in the water, it conducts electricity and creates a new electrical field. The shark, passing by the metal object, becomes very interested in it and swims closer to investigate. I gently deter the shark from the object to prevent it from hurting itself on the ladder. @juansharks @OneOceanDiving #apexpredatornotmonster #coexist #sharkeducation #tigershark #sharks #weneedsharks #shark #sharkdiving #a

If you spearfish or swim in deeper water you may have a little higher chance of an encounter with a large shark species, especillay during the warmest months in the main Hawaiian islands. I am sharing a small synopsis of the break down of my most basic redirection technique for a large shark for emergency purposes only. Please keep in mind it’s extremely rare to see a shark or be approached by a shark, however activities like spearfishing may increase your chances because Sharks ecological role in the ecosystem is to pick off the weak, wounded, sick, dead, or dying animals to keep marine ecosystems healthy. It is not advised to string any type of fish for palu on your belt, float, or in the water and be mindful to try to get any fish that you spear out of the water as quickly as possible and contain the blood to help reduce the chances of attracting a nearby shark. If approached, you can use this technique as you move back slowly towards your exit, facing the shark as it approaches you and following it as it turns away or moving back while facing it until it approaches close enough to redirect. If you have an in animate object such as a spear or long fin or camera, you can extend those things between you and and the approaching Shark, but if it’s a very large shark, they may come close enough to make contact (still very rare, usually they make a lot of turns off before contact.) Don’t panic. Just keep an eye on them and, if possible, drop your speared fish and move away from the area. While sharks are very capable and important apex predators, they are not monsters, and if given the respect via adapting to their role, we can coexist.
