Dancing with Sharks

[Dave Dillehay]

We found a absolutely amazing video on You Tube that every diver must see. I don't know how to make a link here but maybe someone can. As of now it is on our web site Aldora Divers of Cozumel (http://www.aldora.com). Enjoy.

Interesting video. Very brave soul feeding the sharks. Not a fan of that practice. Was
it filmed in Cozumel?

Awesome video. Here's the link: YouTube - 333 Nina Salerosa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK2LpUoqX6A&feature=player_embedded)

I doubt that was filmed in Coz. Probably Bahamas or thereabouts.

I don't know where it was filmed but the names of the diver and Camera Person were Latin American so I don't think the Bahamas. I too am not a fan of the practice but the show was amazing!

With the looming threat of a commercial shark finning operation being established in the Bahamas, filmmaker Joe Romeiro has chosen to use his skills to show sharks in a different light in his short film "Nina Salerosa". In the film renowned dive master Christina Zenato interacts very closely with a group of sharks during a feeding session. The Caribbean reef sharks in the video appear as beautiful, graceful creatures and this image helps to overturn the perception of sharks as being aggressive, and to create sympathy with their possible plight.

Meanwhile, the Bahamas National Trust, in partnership with the Pew Environmental Group, has launched a campaign to create legislation that would ban finning, and nearly a dozen environmental groups have begun lobbying for the sharks. In addition, the online petition calling for legal protection of Bahamian sharks has attracted nearly 6000 signatures. If you haven't added yours yet though, please do so now.

Bahamas.

Actually the diver's name, Zenato, is not strictly Latin and she resides in the Bahamas.

Probably the coolest shark tonic immobility video I've seen!

[G'Diddy]

It was made in Grnd Bahamas. Cristina Zenato lives there & works for UNEXSO in Port Lucaya. She's a fanominal shark expert.

Excerpting from CZ (http://www.cristinazenato.com/CZ.html)

Born in Italy, Cristina Zenato grew up in the rain forests of 1970’s African Congo until the age of 15, and naturally developed a love of the outdoors. Her tremendous passion for the ocean surfaced at a young age, and following her love for the water she journeyed to the Bahamas for work, and learned to dive..

16 years later she is still proudly working for The Underwater Explorers Society, and from her humble beginnings as a Scuba Instructor, she climbed the ladder to become the head of diving at UNEXSO, teaching technical diving plus cave and cavern classes. When Cristina is not working, she can usually be found freediving or exploring new cave systems.

Speaking five different languages, Italian, English, German, French and Spanish, Cristina became a tour de force – a PADI, NAUI, SSI, SDI, open water instructor, NSS-CDS full cave instructor, Extended Range Instructor, TDI advanced Nitrox with decompression procedure and more, she is a talented young lady.
