One Ocean Diving on the other hand is an opportunity to not only interact and swim with
sharks but more importantly learn about them as a 400 million year old species.
The Pelagic Shark Program is an extensively developed program based on shark behavioural research all hosted by full time marine biologists. When you sign up for a trip, you’ll board a 27 foot vessel with only 6 or 8 guests on board, it is a wonderfully intimate program.
After a safety briefing you’ll leave the North Shore harbour and begin the 15 minute trip out to the survey/dive site. On the ride out your Marine Biologist/Divemaster will give you a ton of fascinating information about sharks. You’ll learn all about the biology and physiology effect their behaviour, how your behaviour effects their mood. What types of sharks too look for and whether they are male or female.
One of my favourite facts about sharks is that they are extreme energy conservers. They will do everything in their power to conserve energy as much as possible while swimming – this fact alone reminds us how misconstrued sharks are shown above the water. Also you will see for yourself and learn that they do not look at humans as a natural prey item.
