Teenagers diving with sharks in The Bahamas

The Llaneza family kids Magin 19, Claudia 13 and Nathalie 12 years old in the video are sharing a vacation with sharks. While Ramon Llaneza is trying to understanding the short-term changes in reef sharks (Carcharhinus perezii) and evaluating behavior changes after the sharks are stimulated. One of our goals is to understand the shark's behavior associated with selective attention to certain stimuli. Another goal is to educate people on how to behave in the water when sharks are present, and to not be afraid of sharks. Once we got to the reef, we prepared our diving equipment and planned the dive. We dove in a place with approximately 9 reef sharks surrounded us. This expedition has been an exciting adventure for the whole family. Every day started by waking up with the sunrise, diving during the day, contemplating the sunset and working on the project. We shared very exciting moments and learned a little more about shark behavior and how sharks interact with humans. They rank among the most perfect and most beautiful creatures ever developed in nature. We expect to meet them at the coral reefs or in the open ocean. Their absence means disappointment for the divers, while their appearance is exciting. When their formidable silhouette glides along the populated coral reef, fish do not panic; they quietly clear the master's path, and keep an eye on him. So do we. Being in the Bahamas gave us the opportunity to be in close contact with sharks. Our experience has proved once more the theory that sharks attack as purely inquisitive testing. Researchers say that 96% of all shark attacks are single strikes, or "hit and run" attacks or mistakes. We need to support the worldwide effort to give sharks a chance to survive Diving with sharks has been a unique experience. Hopefully some of you will try it and experience the adventure just to be in close encounter with yourself and with this unique & amazing animal. We all need to learn more and understand why they attack and end the fear that drives us to destroy them. Perhaps most important of all is that the sharks are in serious trouble. More than 100 million of them are killed by people every year through greed, need, selfishness, ignorance, and a depletion of marine ecosystems that sharks are defenseless against. The threatened extinction of many shark species is no longer fiction but grim reality. Their disappearance will inevitably lead to an ecological disaster in the seas and a tragedy for humans.
