SHARKS
Sharks are one of the most feared creatures on this
planet. The idea of diving into any part of the sea occupied
by sharks is enough to make people’s skin crawl. 1
Shark diving has become one of the latest adventure
sports and is gaining in popularity in leaps and bounds.
Did you know that there are at least 465 species of shark? They range from the great whale and
basking shark to the pygmy shark, which is the smallest of the species. Today’s sharks have not
changed that much since their forefathers the Carcharadon Carcharias, which inhabited the
earth more than forty million years ago. 2 These impressive measurements are of
course one of the reasons people really want to get a good look at them, despite what they
believe will take them into danger.
In actual fact, most people know very little about sharks, apart from the fact that they kill things
and that they can kill us. 3 If you think this is a high number, perhaps you should
consider that in the same period 17,000 people died in car accidents and as many as 350
people drowned in the bath. Someone drowning while they have a bath is not an everyday kind
of happening, but it seems to be much more common than a fatal shark attack. 4
Sharks are very important to the environment. Without them there would be a population
explosion of certain forms of marine life which would cause the destruction of others. 5
Therefore, it is important that people become better educated about sharks and understand that
they deserve as much respect as any other creature that exists on this planet.
Fortunately, things have been changing in recent years and the world is slowly learning that
sharks are not just mindless killers but are intelligent, fascinating and beautiful. We now live in
the age of ecotourism and we are lucky that there are shark lovers who want to show people
who are interested what sharks are really like. In several parts of the world, you can view sharks
from specially constructed cages which are lowered into the water. 6
Slowly but surely, the shark’s image is improving and laws are being made to protect those that
are endangered.
