Living with the Ocean
Tour Program
This is a 3-4 hour program and is organized by our snorkeling guide.
The tour starts with a careful briefing on how to behave when in the water. This is only because the sharks are extremely timid and to approach them closely it helps to understand about these them.
After a short 10 minute boat ride, we don equipment and we enter the water. We shall spend between 1.5 hours and 2 hours in the water with the sharks.
It is not necessary to be a good swimmer of snorkeler. Guests float quietly on the surface so there is no diving required.
At some point later in the trip we may visit another part of the reef to look at other corals and fish.
Usually we will either video or photograph the trip which the guests can watch and purchase if they wish.
Price includes: Mask and snorkel, fins, wetsuit, life jacket, fruit, water, and divemaster. Longtail boat and captain.
Duration: 3 hours and generally start at 06:15a.m.
*Price is per person

BLACK TIP REEF SHARKS
Black Tip Reef Sharks are a timid and non aggressive species of shark. They are more scared of us than we are of them...Really!
They generally prefer to swim alone or in small groups in extremely shallow parts of the reef, in depths that range from 40 cm to only a few meters deep.
They are cartilaginous, viviparous fish, giving birth to live young in litters of 2-4 pups. They about 25cm in length at birth and are not suckled by the mother as mammals are. Instead they are more than capable of feeding themselves. Young shark pups are easy prey to larger fish and easily caught by fishermen.
Their diet consists of small fish such as silversides, young grouper, wrasse, parrotfish, needlefish, squid, octopus, and even seasnakes. Fully grown they measure up to 1.8 meters in length.
Here a pilotfish swims unmolested just infront of a shark.
100 million sharks are slaughtered every year. The market for sharks fins, liver oil, cartilage, teeth, skin, and meat is pushing these animals to extinction.
Sharks are the apex predator in the sea. They are one of the most important animals that help maintain a balance in our world's most valuable resource: The Ocean.
