    Great video. I went on a few shark dive trips in the past before the state of Florida banned it. I agree with you that to chum the water to catch and kill these great creatures will do more harm to the ecosystem than having people go on shark dives and interact with the sharks, we both leave alive. The law didn’t make sense to me. Eco-tourism generates a greater amount of money for the local economy and also preserves the natural resources this has been proven beneficial for everyone. If the Fl department of natural resources developed a sustainable harvest and shark fishing season, setting limits on the size it would have an impact on the shark population. I’m not against fishing, I actually enjoy it and have done it all my life. However destructive over development of the coast and the overfishing of certain species can lead to a collapse of species. Many states have set limits, quotas and restrictions on fishing. Where I live in northeast this management has allowed the striped bass population to come back. There are all limits on flounder, sea bass, tautog( black fish) and even blue fish, allowing the fish population to grow. We even have seen an increase in sharks as well which is due to the conservation efforts. Unfortunately the legacy of the movies such as jaws and the negative media coverage of sharks makes it hard for people to be sympathetic toward protecting them. Please don’t stop your post about sharks, it’s great to see them. Next time I’m down there I’ll be sure to check out the two charters you mentioned. I’d love to go on one of these trips. Thanks again for your post.

    Aren't those snakes super poisonous? I have seen some of them in Indo waters but that amount would have freaked me out I think. Great content by the way - well done! About the illusive hammerheads in Banda - we dived the same spot for a whole week - 3 times a day and we had one lonely hammerhead showing up on the last 10 minutes of the very last dive...

    • @DiveHard
      @DiveHard Месяц назад

      Thank you! 🙏🏽 the banded sea snakes are definitely super poisonous, but they are pretty docile if you don’t bother them, and importantly, have tiny mouths that can’t effectively bite you. Unless they get something like your ear, or webbing of your fingers, etc. Thats why I kind of freaked out when they were licking my toes 😂I love seeing hammerheads but they are like a bonus - the snakes and the reefs alone make Banda worth it imo. Maybe next time! Cheers 🤙🏽🙏🏽

    Hi, thank you for the great video. I’ve been to Raja Ampat last December 2023 (x-mas) and we had a great time on the Blue Manta. I missed a lot because even with more than 50 dives experience I’m still afraid of down currents. Do you have a suggestion about how to cope with fear of currents?

    • @DiveHard
      @DiveHard Месяц назад

      Down currents are nerve racking for sure, and indo has a lot of them. Blue manta is a great boat and I’m sure you saw a lot of awesome stuff in Raja. 50 dives isn’t bad but still in beginner / intermediate range. I didn’t really get comfortable in all currents until 200+ dives. The only way to get comfortable with currents is to rack up more dives and get everything else super dialed in - equipment, buoyancy, etc. Then start diving in lateral currents and get comfortable with the idea of going with the flow. When currents start to feel really fun (which is how I feel now), the down currents aren’t as scary. Your awareness as a divers matters - noticing that there is a down current is part of that (which way are the fish swimming, what are happening to bubbles, etc.). I also carry a large SMB, nautilus lifelines, and an EPIRB which gives me a lot of comfort in the event I drift away or get separated in open ocean environments. I think the best advice I can give is to dive in currents in locations where drifts are predictable (e.g. Maldives etc) and learn to love them. I alway start playing around when I feel the whirlpool / down current. They can be serious, but comfort and experience is the key to navigating those situations
