Dive Charters for Shark Encounters
Often we see dive charters offer shark encounters. Sharks are normally shy but charters attract them to the dive location with food and/or blood (chum). Do you think is a good idea to attract predators to humans underwater? Is this process maybe unintentionally changing the though process of the shark, easing the shyness to equate divers with food? Or, even worse diver become food?
