Diving in shark-infested waters in The Bahamas

Ocean explorer and marine conservationist Scott Cassell explains why The Bahamas is one of the last places on Earth where one can find many species of sharks in great numbers.

In The Bahamas, commercial shark fishing is prohibited in the approximately 630,000 square kilometres (243,244 square miles) of the country’s waters. By protecting sharks, this is one place on Earth where divers can truly discover this apex predator.

What advice does Scott Cassell have for those who wish to dive with sharks?

“When you are getting ready to go dive with sharks, you really have to be in the right mindset. Not that you are going to be in danger, but you are going to be in an environment where there is danger, so you must know how to avoid it,” says Cassell.

Scott Cassell is a counter-terrorism combat dive instructor to the Special Ops community, an anti-piracy consultant, former sniper, special ops combat medic and MedEvac flight instructor in the Army National Guard.

He is also the founder of non-profit organisations Seawolves Unlimited and Undersea Voyager Project. Swiss watch brand Luminox is a partner and supports him by funding his activities through the sale of the watches named after him.
