Is saving the Oceans saving people as well?

Channel 6  in San Diego aired a nice report on the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and my friend Phil Zerofski, chief collector at the institute and owner of Seacamp San Diego. They are using stuff they find in the ocean for all kinds of research, including curing cancers.


I got my start as a SCUBA instructor with Seacamp San Diego and still work with their summer camp every year. If you have a kid that's interested in marine sciences, I can highly recommend their summer programs. They are not only educational, but a lot of fun to boot. Many lifelong friendships have started there, including some of mine.

If you want more information on Seacamp San Diego, visit their website at www.seacamp.com or call them at 1-800 SEACAMP

By the way, in the video they say that Phil is diving to 1200ft, they should have said 12 meters or about 40 ft.

Shark Diver in the news!

Whitney Meyers,  with "Bruce" at Isla Guadalupe

Shark Diving often gets a bad rap, when it comes to the news media. So it's nice to see that sometimes the media goes for something other than a sensational headline and gives our industry some credit.

Shark Diving Thrives, Saving Sharks Around the World is the headline of a FOX business news  article. It's nice to get some acknowledgement that what we are doing is appreciated. I can only speak for myself, but I think that most of us that are involved with shark diving are doing it because we love the sharks and want to protect them.

I'm proud to say that the pictures used for the article were all taken from our cages at Isla Guadalupe. I love the picture of Whitney Meyers, from Seacamp San Diego, one of our Shark Divers smiling ear to ear, ah, I mean working really hard to safe the sharks.

Shark Diver is happy to be able to provide the shark researchers like Nicole Nasby-Lucas with all our pictures for her database and Mauricio Hoyos Padilla  with logistical support.

If you want to come face to face with great white sharks and have the experience of a lifetime, all while helping the researchers safe the sharks, visit us at Shark Diver.

I hope you all will come and join us!
