Crazy? Come along with us as we dive into the water at night with Tiger Sharks, Bull Sharks, Lemon Sharks, Caribbean Reef Sharks and Oceanic Whitetip Sharks. What some people may think is terrifying is actually a relaxing experience... in this video you'll find out why.
"I've ventured into the depths, both under the golden rays of the day and the mystical glow of night, immersed in the company of sharks. And what we've discovered is that these magnificent creatures are just as tranquil and at ease during the nocturnal hours as they are in the bright daylight, in this very environment.
For us divers, it's an equally serene and calming experience. The sharks may glide in close proximity, but that's a behavior they exhibit during the day as well. Remember, we've been thoroughly briefed on the art of diving alongside these sharks, keeping everything as safe as possible and we simply carry those skills into the night.
The most opportune time to take the plunge is often just as the sun dips below the horizon, casting its final light. If we fail to keep the sharks engaged as we move from day to night, especially the tiger sharks, they may abandon the area in search of more entertaining pursuits.
The reef sharks and lemon sharks are numerous, their presence a constant companion. In fact, on one particular night dive I will never forget, the waters were teeming with lemon sharks, a veritable crowd gracing us with their presence. A real lemonaide.
The most challenging night shark dive I ever undertook was with a group of about 40 boisterous bull sharks, lurking 80 feet beneath the surface at another location in the bahamas. We captured the shots we sought and safely made our way back to the boat, hearts racing from the adrenaline-fueled encounter.
We’ve also been with Oceanic Whitetips - with their freckled complexion and Great Hammerheads for this mesmerizing experience.
It's truly a serene and tranquil undertaking as you see in some of this action…
So there you have it, diving with sharks at night - a thrilling and relaxing adventure, another way to bask in the company of these awe-inspiring animals.
