Such an interesting and informative video! Really beautiful work! Tiger Beach is on my dive list... can't wait to experience it one day and hopefully sooner than later
Cool pics and video but I don't think you should be chumming the water to bring the sharks in. The sharks are associating humans with a food source and will eventually someone will get bit. Happened not to long ago with a woman from New York over in Asia. I dive a lot down in Belize and the practice down there is to kill lion fish and feed them to Nurse Sharks and Moray Eels. It's good for the reef but the Nurse Sharks and Morays know it"s dinner time when the divers enter the water. One of our guides almost got a nasty bite from a Moray after spearing multiple Lion Fish. Eel came out of no where and actually grabbed his arm. Got it on video. Just keep your head on a swivel when chumming or spear fishing.
Actually she was mauled by a tiger shark two years ago in Costa Rica on a shark dive. She was bitten as she ascended. The problem is all divers should have some type of pole to redirect shark. That way you do not put your hand in jeopardy and you can ward off a shark as you ascend.
@@MrGlenspace Doubt a stick would have saved her. She was in the middle of a feeding frenzy. It's all fun and games until someone loses a life. You're asking for problems diving in water that has been chummed up to attract sharks.
shuvelhead233 I partially agree but better to have something other than a hand to push any shark. I would still live to go to Tiger beach. However, the constant chumming or revving of motors creates a Pavlovian response. I am reminded of the attack in a lagoon at Vanuatu years ago. Some people were on a yacht in a lagoon and decided to jump into the water. What they did nit realize is the local people from a nearby meat plant thru waste meat into the lagoon. The tiger shark became accustomed to the plopping noise and associated that with food. When the people on the boat jumped in they were signaling the dinner bell. One woman had leg almost bit off and miraculous journey to reach medical help finally in New Zealand. I believe they had to amputate her leg but great care saved her life when odds were against it.
Yeah I’m following this conversation... I want to know what CaymanJason thinks. I’m not sitting on any sides of the fence at the moment... I am open to hearing both points of view.... as a diver though - I wouldn’t be getting in with chum... but that’s just me.

A lot of self-promotion and very few actual sharks :-(
