Our Vision: Sharks

Since the beginning of time man has been fascinated with sharks. Shark tourism is one of the fastest growing tourism models on the planet and is a $300 million dollar growth industry. For land based Great Whites resorts and live aboard dive operations, the addition of safe shark encounters is a recipe for continued success. The Bahamas currently enjoys shark tourism revenues of close to US$70 million dollars a year and caters to a robust film and television market geared exclusively towards shark productions.

For wild animal productions, shows that feature sharks enjoy higher ratings with viewers. Discovery Channel's Shark Week is a prime example of this long lasting obsession with sharks. In 2008 29.1 million viewers tuned in to Shark Week programming.

Shark Divers is a one-stop-shop for film and television productions and shark tourism and unique undersea tourism development for land based resorts and live aboard dive operations. We can show you how to build, manage, and develop any dive site on earth branding "Safe and Sane Shark Tourism Development."

Special Announcement

SAN ANSELMO, Calif., July 4, 2009 – Shark Divers CEO Patric Douglas unveiled the world’s newest white shark aggregation site exclusively for film and television productions today with the release of the first ever video of these animals.

"We have code-named the site 'Oceania', says Douglas. "Its exact location will be kept a closely guarded secret until the first productions have captured the complete story here".

A limited number of production companies will be introduced to the site in 2010 (January through April), in order to maintain the location's pristine, untamed nature, as well as for the benefit of the white sharks. Typically, divers are encountering up to 10 animals a day in 100-foot visibility. The site enjoys a potential for strong conservation and research storylines. "This site offers the finest traditions of exploration, research, and adventure," explains Douglas. "The fact that it is almost 2010 and sites like these are being discovered is a testament to how little we know of the oceans and the unlimited possibilities still open to us."

Shark Divers delivers shark safety in a cost effective environment with an eye towards production values that go light years beyond "the man on the sand with the bait crate."
