I was not prepared to watch my friend get nipped by a shark.

. In 2020, I had a life-changing experience during a family trip to Mexico where I encountered 30-foot whale sharks. This encounter sparked my desire to push my limits, and I started seeking opportunities to dive with every shark out there. If there was a shark near me...I was swimming with it!During my first dive with a tiger shark, I had to redirect the shark and, in my mind, I confidently pushed her away. In reality, my hand was shaking and I may have almost cried.

Remember this: Don't swim away like the movies teach!It is important to assert your dominance and appear large to the shark by maintaining eye contact and following the shark with your body and eyes. Following the shark all the way through until it swims away is vital, since it can quickly turn the second you drop eye contact.When chumming to attract sharks, the sharks will head straight for the bait and continuously circle the food source.
