Sharks have been in existence for the last 400 million years. That’s 200 million years before dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the ocean.
There are almost 400 species of sharks that come in all shapes, sizes and even colors.

Sharks keep the ocean ecosystem in balance. If sharks disappeared, fish populations could have more disease out breaks and coral could possibly die.
All sharks have a “sixth sense” – they can sense the electric fields emitted by animals in the surrounding water.
Wow!!
Don’t they bite tho!?
Like you guys were so close?!
They can nip you if you threaten them. But if you respect them and keep a safe distance you’ll be fine with most sharks. White sharks and Tiger sharks are a different story… they are more aggressive.
Ooh I see!
Sharks are cool. But the chain mail approach is a bit too “up close and personal” for me…
Only divers that wanted to feed the sharks had to wear chain mail over their wetsuits. I just had my camera… LOL! I think they paid $1500 for two dives to feed – too much risk and cost for me.
