@burgersforreal Also both Steven Spielberg, the writer of the script have both said in interviews that they would have never made the movie if they knew the effect on how people would see sharks. Jaws is wrong in every form of the word. By the year 2048 scientists believe that majority of fish are going to be extinct. This is because of shark finning and whaling. Long story short; Sharks go extinct > Fish overpopulate > Fish eat all plankton > Fish starve > Oceans go stagnant > We die.

@burgersforreal No you are incredibly wrong.The movie Jaws is not based on any form of a fact. 6 people die a year from shark attacks. Elephants kill 100 people each year. You do the math. Sharks attack us because they think we are a seal or something appetizing. 96% of recorded fatal shark attacks are from blood loss not because the victim has been eaten or any flesh even removed. When a shark attacks us they take an exploratory bite, realize we are not edible and go away. Educate yourself.

I would LOVE to get involved doing this!

I would say they have balls feeding Bull sharks let alone swimming with them!

Some great video footage - but wow, what an incredibly controversial activity!!

Personally as a biologist, I strongly disagree with feeding and human conditioning of wildlife. There were some interesting findings in a recent study by Clua et al (2010) "Behavioural response of sicklefin lemon sharks Negaprion acutidens to underwater feeding for ecotourism purposes".

1. Ecological changes through aggregation & reduction in shark mobility

2. Increase in inter & intra-specific aggression

that s cool. what s the best time to do it

[JoshA1977]

Dangerous...yet, beautiful!

[UmpireRandall]

To all those stating that these diving activities are conditioning sharks to associate humans with a food source and that this will increase the rate of attacks, please point us in the direction of the relevant scientific literature on the subject.

Additionally, why don't you stop rubbishing a dive operation you don't know anything about, one that provides for the local community, protects the sharks, and whose actions cannot be attributed to an increase in shark attacks in Fiji.

@gwsim It says the song titles and Artist underneath the video views, both by Enigma. Even has an Amazon likn to buy. Duh!

[gwsim]

While I think White (and many Tiger) sharks tend to behave in a more (ahem) "peaceful" manner when given free fish handouts, the fact of the matter is that (as this video proves) humans have no control over the situation and these highly aggressive predators could easily realize a feeding opportunity at our expense (e.g., Groh or Ritter attack). The sharks in the open ocean? They will eat anything, including us. It is their ecological niche to do so. All the contrary jabber here means nothing.
