If you spearfish or swim in deeper water you may have a little higher chance of an encounter with a large shark species, especillay during the warmest months in the main Hawaiian islands. I am sharing a small synopsis of the break down of my most basic redirection technique for a large shark for emergency purposes only. Please keep in mind it’s extremely rare to see a shark or be approached by a shark, however activities like spearfishing may increase your chances because Sharks ecological role in the ecosystem is to pick off the weak, wounded, sick, dead, or dying animals to keep marine ecosystems healthy. It is not advised to string any type of fish for palu on your belt, float, or in the water and be mindful to try to get any fish that you spear out of the water as quickly as possible and contain the blood to help reduce the chances of attracting a nearby shark. If approached, you can use this technique as you move back slowly towards your exit, facing the shark as it approaches you and following it as it turns away or moving back while facing it until it approaches close enough to redirect. If you have an in animate object such as a spear or long fin or camera, you can extend those things between you and and the approaching Shark, but if it’s a very large shark, they may come close enough to make contact (still very rare, usually they make a lot of turns off before contact.) Don’t panic. Just keep an eye on them and, if possible, drop your speared fish and move away from the area. I taught another Advanced shark behavior program today @OneOceanDiving customized for a spearfisher woman who wanted to get more information and experience after being approached by tiger sharks while spearfishing. I appreciate that desire to learn more and gain experience. While sharks are very capable and important apex predators, they are not monsters, and if given the respect via adapting to their role, we can coexist. Thank you for your support for shark and marine conservation and sharing links with friends and family to educational resources 🩵 Filmed by @juansharks on @gopro @oneoceandiving #Sharksummer #Sharktime #learnaboutsharks #savesharks #oceansafety #coexist
