Rhode Island blue sharks - take 5

[oceanopportunity]

Numerous species are found in Rhode Island waters - whites, blues, mako, porbeagle, sandtiger, and the occasional oceanic whitetip, hammerhead, and even tiger shark offshore in warmer gulf stream waters. Sightings of whites have become more common in the region in recent years, though I wouldn't say they are a problem. Snappa Charters out of Pt. Judith runs shark cage dive experiences, and its a great big animal encounter.

Blues aren't typically agressive toward humans are they?

[oceanopportunity]

Blues are rarely aggressive towards humans. I found them to be very curious and almost 'playful. I spent the majority of my time in the water outside of a cage. We were chumming for them, so with so much food in the water, the real risk is an accidental nip, rather than an attack. Any shark, if provoked, will likely show defensive behaviour.
