#savingjaws

🎉 Cheers to the start of another year with countless opportunities to speak up for sharks and the ocean 💙 Let’s make 2019 the year to say no to shark-fin soup, unsustainable fishing, shark byproducts like shark squalene and cartilage, and single-use plastic! 🙌🏽 // Beautiful photo by our co-founder, @juansharks 🦈 ・・・ 2018 brought the largest tiger shark I have ever seen or at least the widest tiger shark I have documented. This is #Moana in our tiger shark ID program @oneoceansharks. Moana became instagram famous in 2015 when @zacefron dubbed her his spirit animal during dive with her @oneoceandiving. I feel like she may have doubled in size since that dive. I hope to see her babies in 2019 🎉🙏🏼. #nextgeneration #sharks #changethewayyouthink #about #sharks #cagethefear #ApexPredatorNotMonster without sharks, the ocean that we know today will cease to exist. #savingjaws @savingjawsmovie (at North Shore in Hale'Iwa, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsJK4V-Bqiq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yhqblsixth4m

Huge mahalo to Tony for coming back out with us again and speaking up for sharks! We have so much respect for you using your platform to raise awareness for shark conservation, we hope to dive with you again sometime! 🤙🏽 Photos by @juansharks Repost @tony_giordano ・・・ ROUND II Cage-less #SharkDive - #OahuNorthShore. (Swipe) Another unbelievable experience and more importantly another great lesson from @oceanramsey, @juansharks and @danny_mako, for further knowledge of the amazing and gorgeous creatures these are. Many of you who have known me a long time know that back in 2009 I became a strong advocate and supporter in ending the senseless killing of dolphins and raising awareness of @thecove foundation. The senseless and absolute brutal killings of sharks has brought it to a whole other level now. Sharks kill (on accident) less than a dozen humans a year, yet humans kill 70-100 million sharks every year. FACT! Yet the media loves to cover that rare shark attack on a human, but are not covering the 10,000 sharks every hour that are being killed simply for their fins for a popular soup in Asia called #sharkfinsoup which is mostly just a status symbol. It disgusts me. Just as you read this, over 200 sharks were just killed for their fins and then their bodies thrown back over to bleed out and drown! We need sharks who play such a MASSIVE roll in the health of our oceans. Please take the time to watch our friend @oceanramsey’s and @juansharks new award-winning documentary #SavingJaws with @oneoceandiving. It is a must see eye opener. You can easily find the documentary Saving Jaws on Amazon Prime with Apple TV. For @london.giordano and I to have another opportunity to dive down and swim with these gorgeous creatures surrounding us by the dozens, is an experience words can’t describe and all must experience themselves. Sharks because of media and even more stupid movies from the 70’s and still today, are extremely misconceived. Please take the time to watch Saving Jaws and please share and re-share anything you can to stop the brutal killings of sharks before it is too late. We must turn this around NOW! https://www.instagram.com/p/B4IkqetHTgK/?igshid=i68vwulxoej4

Awesome #repost from @jyemusic !! Thanks for diving with us and raising awareness on the importance of shark conservation 💙 ・・・ 🦈 ☀️ Our favorite activity we did on our trip to Hawaii! Such an incredible experience being in the ocean with sharks. Contrary to what many believe, being in their space was a very calm and peaceful experience. Thanks to the team at @oneoceandiving for educating us. Give them a follow and read up on how important these endangered sharks are to our ecosystem. 📸: @chiaraphoto Our awesome guide: @mermaid_kayleigh #savesharks #sharks #savingjaws #sharkdive #oneoceandiving #hawaii #northshore #haleiwa #oahu #swimwithsharks #ocean #travel #vacation (at North Shore, Haleiwa, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3QR0UNnwgM/?igshid=hbaq17s7x5wl

#Repost @oneoceandiving ・・・ Incredible repost from our co-founder @juansharks 📷🦈 ・・・ So big she won’t even fit in my wide angle 16 to 35mm lens @canonusa @aquatech_imagingsolutions Check out @savingjawsmovie to learn more about sharks and why sharks are so important to the oceans ecosystem. @oceanramsey pictured here showing what is possible. The idea that sharks see humans as food source and the fear that media pollutes us about sharks is rubbish. Coconuts are more dangerous than sharks. I’m not saying sharks are not dangerous as a apex predator, but far from the monsters they get portrayed as in most films and traditional media. Humans and sharks can #coexist and need to, for the survival of our ocean.

#Repost @oceanramsey (@get_repost) ・・・ Wow! I don’t even know what to say. @savingjawsmovie finished last year and is now out! We have a decade of footage that we didn’t even compile and so many interviews from amazing people we would still love to share but we will continue our efforts for shark conservation on multiple projects and platforms because every effort has the potential to reach more people about the importance and plight of sharks. The number of people who now care about sharks is growing and that will mean more voices and support for desperately needed protection from extremely wasteful practices like shark finning. For well over a decade @Juansharks and I have realized that the sharks we grew up with have slowly been disappearing. Its been an honor and privilege to dedicate our lives to being a voice for them. We realize that people often look first and listen 2nd so we are lucky enough work INCREDIBLE (is a serious understatement) creatives like director/cinematographer @keonishoots who put this whole film together with @gravitasventures . So many people to Thank I can’t list them all but thank YOU for your support as we continue our efforts to #HelpSaveSharks and #SaveTheOcean . #SavingJaws is currently available on @amazonprimevideo (go to amazon smile and select **Save The Sea Turtles International** to support the non profit organizations we work with while you shop. Its also available on @itunes I cannot thank enough people for the help and support bringing this project together and am excited to share more.

Awesome repost from one of our safety divers in training @scubabarbie7 💙🦈 ・・・ Born and raised in New England this hits home. In 2015 june 19. 2015, Allison pohle wrote a article for the @boston sharing that the author of Jaws, Peter Benchley, WISHED HE NEVER WROTE IT! @peter_benchley_photography ▪ He sold more than 10 million book copies and turned into a millionaire. BUT He regrettes writing it. He said: “What I now know, which wasn’t known when I wrote Jaws, is that there is no such thing as a rogue shark which develops a taste for human flesh." ▪ Humans kill between 50 and 100 million sharks each year, he said, but sharks only kill a handful of humans. "The Shark Research Institute found that the populations of eight shark species declined more than 50 percent from 1986 to 2000.... The odds of dying in a shark attack are 1 in 3.7 million, according to the Florida Program for Shark Research, and it’s been nearly 80 years since someone died of a shark attack in Massachusetts." ▪ Yet, for some, the terror of a real-life Jaws attack persists. SavingJaws is a new movie that will come out soon from @oneoceandiving co-founders @oceanramsey and @juansharks. Please watch and realized that media always exaggerates everything and sharks arent the harmful creatres that are portrayed. ▪ Thank you again @boston for sharing news like this, like i said it hits home to realize sharks are being killed in the waters i grew up in. There is no reason to be scared. ▪ Also big thanks to @camgrantphotography for this beautiful photos #bostonnews #savingjaws #girlswhofreedive #northshoreoahu #explorehawaii #onewiththepack #ladyshark #waterbaby #blondehavemorefun #freediver #jaws #savetheseas #savetheocean #savethesharks (at North Shore, Haleiwa, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxGbLurhix2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13qa1mwtb4age

#Repost @oneoceandiving (@get_repost) ・・・ Post from our co-founder @juansharks 🦈📷 ・・・ Don’t fear sharks, fear for them. Sharks are being killed mostly just for their fins, at a alarming rate that averages out to 70 to 100 million a year. Turn Fear into Respect with Facts. Sharks are not targeting humans as a food source, yes there are mistaken identity bites that happen because of confusion or territorial reasons but it is a accident not a vicious monster gone rogue. #ApexPredatorNotMonster #savingjaws #helpsavesharks by raising awareness to the things that are going to make sharks extinct, #sharkfinsoup and #sharkfishing #stopsharkfishing #stopsharkfinsoup @oceanramsey pictured here sharing the water with what some would say is a monster but in reality it is animal that directly affects the health of ocean that humans so desperately need to survive. Saving sharks is about saving humans in my eyes. ❤️🦈 @oneoceanconservation @waterinspired photo by #juansharks #juanoliphant using @aquatech_imagingsolutions https://www.instagram.com/p/BuF8HWoFgr4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19ur8hi9gdjqi
