Cristina Zenato Instagram – Moving with the weather, we used the winds to sail to Bimini and are planning to sit here and dive with Great Hammerheads and on other sites for the remaining days at sea.
Once again, these sharks share the same environment and swim around divers and fish, aware of their and our presence.
Many are surprised sharks won’t go after the fish swimming around us; they don’t because the fish are healthy, and there is no need to remove them from the ocean’s food web.
As humans, we can learn a lot from sharks; one of the lessons is that they take what and when they need it; they do not overkill, overstore, or overconsume. They share their space with their possible prey in a balanced manner. This behavior is the reality of sharks.
As much as we hear about it, seeing it in the first person leaves an impression that makes us change how we view the world and the relationship we need to establish with nature, not against it.
We had a fantastic first day with four hammers, including Gaia and Queen, and a carpet of nurse sharks.
