Fear of Sharks | Can Shark Cage Diving Cure You After One Dive?

The Film and TV market for thrilling, man-versus-shark movies has also fueled the real-world stigma that sharks are evil man-eaters, ultimately contributing to the slaughter of hundreds of millions of sharks every year and an unreasonable fear of sharks. Can shark cage diving at Guadalupe island cure you of your irrational fear of sharks?

Great White Sharks at Guadalupe Island

Great white sharks at Guadalupe Island are responsible for maintaining the balance of the ocean’s ecosystem, keeping older and sick seals from causing disease in shoreline colonies and certain species of fish from overpopulating and destroying coral and other essential fish markets such as Tuna. The 1975 release of Jaws led to shocking global participation in shark-killing contests, and ecosystems felt the immediate effects. Research from acclaimed biologist Dr. Julia Baum suggests that, in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean between 1986 and 2000, there were massive declines in shark populations. Eighty-nine percent of hammerhead sharks, 79 percent of great white sharks and 65 percent of tiger sharks had vanished seemingly into thin air. So keeping sharks safe in pristine locations protected means better ecosystems!
