This represents the first reported fatal shark attack on a scuba diver resulting from a comercially organised shark diving expedition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.dive-the-world.com/images/blog/sashark1.jpg" alt="The view from the surface in South African waters"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A crew were filimg tiger sharks and lemon sharks without cages for the production 'Shark Angels' aimed at changing the public perception of the creatures which are being pushed towards extinction. The images of three young women in the water surrounded within inches by several supposed man-eaters is the kind of picture that can raise consciousness and alter popular misconceptions about sharks and such were the goals of the shoot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sharks have been in existence on this planet for over 450 million years predating the the best known land based dinosaurs and as highly developed and successful predators, play a crucial role in the ecosystem. Yet with more than 100 million sharks killed every year the human race is driving them to oblivion.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.dive-the-world.com/images/blog/lagoon1.jpg" alt="Shark Feeding at Fiji's Pacific Harbour"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shark diving is becoming an increasingly popular activity the more we learn about these creatures and the more their numbers dwindle. As with any underwater activity and dealing with any potentially dangerous creature, the actvity carries an element of risk; something that all participants are aware of. Yet those reputable operators who regularly conduct such dives take all steps to ensure the conditions are controlled and uniform thereby maximising the safety of their customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However it is precisely because these creatures are so powerful and such efficient hunters that there is a great thrill in sharing the water with them. The risk remains more perceived than actual and certainly no more than other seemingly more benign pursuits like hiking, horse-riding or rugby to name a few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more about our recommended options here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.dive-the-world.com/2008/02/south-africas-ultimate-shark-diving.html"&gt;South Africa’s Ultimate Shark Diving Adventure!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.divetheworldfiji.com/viti-levu-scuba-diving-sites-shark-reef.htm"&gt;Shark Reef in Fiji&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For bookings, please contact &lt;a href="mailto:Blog@Dive-The-World.com?subject=Shark%20Diving%20Adventures"&gt;Blog@Dive-The-World.com&lt;/a&gt; or call our PADI 5 Star Dive Centre in Phuket - 66 (0)83 505 7794.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.dive-the-world.com/2008/04/diver-killed-by-bull-shark.html' title='Diver killed by bull shark'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30513162&amp;postID=5376584949272594740' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.dive-the-world.com/feed/rss.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30513162/posts/default/5376584949272594740'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30513162/posts/default/5376584949272594740'/><author><name>Dive The World</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30513162.post-8793427976708511199</id><published>2008-03-27T15:09:00.004+07:00</published><updated>2008-03-27T15:17:34.291+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mermaid I Availability April 21-30</title><content type='html'>Mermaid I arguably has the best available liveaboard accommodation of all the best value safaris that dive Thailand and Burma, and the cabins are right up there with the best in the industry.
