Travel and holiday news and reviews
For years the world has experienced a concerted effort by much of the global media to aggravate our fears of sharks. We see this most clearly with films like Jaws, which have done a lot to damage the image of what sharks, and great white sharks particularly, are actually like. We saw in the movie how the shark just shredded apart the shark cage, but this is actually a very unlikely, nigh impossible situation. The reality is that many people try to experience shark cage diving, with relatively little risk involved. Unlike diving with sharks in the open, cage diving allows you to see sharks during a feeding frenzy. By placing blood and food for the sharks within the water, while you are of course within the cage, so that you can see them interact in a way which would otherwise be too dangerous. While their image as mindless man-eating monsters is a gross exageration, the reality is that they are still top predators.
So, when you are going for a scuba diving holiday experience, check out your alternative options, like shark cage diving, if you want to have an exhilarating experience.
