NoTanx Freediving in the Dubai Mall

NoTanx took a team over to Dubai for 12 shows in the Dubai Mall Aquarium.
Over 10,000 people saw them and the response was fantastic. They used the opportunity to raise awareness of the plight of sharks in the wild. WWW.AquariumFreedivers.com

As a freediver I can perhaps see what gunclub08 is getting at. It seems like the freediving equivalent of lapdancing. Dubai is an environmental catastrophe and it seems absurd preaching an eco-message to consumers on the evils of shark hunting whilst surrounded by captive species and plastic coral.

We have to stop over fishing in our seas... We made a conscious decision to do the shows and try to make a difference, NOT doing the shows would NOT help the cause at all. It was an opportunity to show people the true nature & beauty of sharks, perhaps we should be thankful they are still alive.

Hopefully if people see freedivers swimming with sharks in a tank with plastic corals it will end some of the nightmares that JAWS created and more folk will have a deeper respect for sharks.

Awsome video that will make a difference to many folk for many reasons.

The show you put on is fantastic.....I come from the "shark infested' waters of east coast Australia. When I was a kid we saw sharks at the beach nearly every day and the alarms were sounded to clear the water but now it is a rare event. Shark populations globally are in serious decline and if something isn't done to raise people's awareness the only place we will be seeing sharks is in a tank with plastic corals.

Great show!,and what a great cause to raise the awareness of sharks and how valuable they are to our Eco system. We can do a little bit each and every one of us by not spending any of our hard earnt money in Chinese resturants that sell shark fin soup. I know I have personally left several resturants that do so. How can anyone anywhere catch a shark cut off it's fin and dump the carcass back into the sea. What a waste of a beautiful majestic marine animal............

its not the japanese market for sharkfins its the chinese market
