I cannot emphasize enough that the majority of the sharks you are ever likely to encounter are friendly and non aggressive.

However, in the same way that friendly household pet has turned and bitten someone even though it has 'never done anything like that before' the same can and has happened with sharks and therefore they need to be respected, not feared.

Florida Shark Attacks

Various sharks inhabit the coastal waters of Florida and you will be amazed at their grace and beauty in the water.

You may have heard over the years that there have been Florida shark attacks and even some fatalities.

So to put your mind at ease, I have provided further information on the minimal risks involved when scuba diving with these stunning marine creatures.

Bull shark attacks are the most notorious even if infrequent, and the bull shark is one shark that deserves full respect when in the water.

There have been recordings of tiger shark attacks, a shark that is known to migrate with studies carried out and migration maps recorded of this distinctive creature.

Take a look at the photos and brief descriptions to familiarize yourself with these magnificent creatures and you will love watching them swim close by without feeling threatened.

Florida Shark - Descriptions

If you take the time to look through the shark descriptions and information you will discover that a few bad characters can taint a whole species and these amazing creatures pose little or no threat to scuba divers.

Terence-s Tip



The first time it was ever mentioned to me about scuba diving in the sea with sharks in the vicinity I remember thinking - no way!

However my instructor at the time informed me of the sharks I was likely to encounter and that they posed no threat to me. He also guaranteed that I would fall in love with them and would consider myself fortunate to have seen them swimming through the waters.

He was right! I would also back up his statement that you will love these creatures once you have encountered them and will guarantee you a thrill of a lifetime when you're in their presence.
