When is high season for sharks?

[DiveTheGalapagos]

Hi, I am wasting so much time just looking up what is peak season for diving with sharks at various locations around the world (articles that spin 'high season' as the time swimmers might get attacked, etc.) that it occurred to me the information might be much easier and more accurate if I posed the question here...to those who operate shark dive tours or dive them

For example, here in the Galapagos, whale shark season for Darwin is June-November. Others are year round, like hammerheads.

Would love to know where / when / which species in your neck of the woods, please.

For red sea sharks, here's a great resource although last year there were oceanic white tips around the whole year (afaik) on the off shore reefs.

Lemons are best seen off Jupiter Fl and further south around February. White Sharks can be seen up the Atlantic Coast in the late spring/early summer following the Right Whales. Sandtigers are best seen off Moorhead City S.C. around August. Juvenile Whalesharks can be seen in the Sea of Cortez around December to Janurary. Most trips for White Sharks in Guadalupe Is. are done in the summer months. Tiger Sharks are usually found in the Northern Bahamas from Sept to January.

It's at the top of the forum page or Sharks - Shark Diving - Shark Diver Magazine - everything you want to learn about sharks - great white sharks - tiger sharks - whale sharks - bull sharks - pictures of sharks
This is the group that I did the Tiger Shark dives with in 2008.
