Image by @jim_abernethy // The corals and sponges of Tiger Beach are incredibly vibrantly colored! This beautiful Caribbean Reef Shark completes the picture by swimming into the perfect position! Finding, naming, promoting and living at Tiger Beach for over 20 years has improved the quality of my life in so many many ways! Be able to work on my life's mission to save sharks while living on location at Tiger Beach has enlightened my mind to the true nature of these magnificent creatures! What do you think of this image? What are your thoughts about Tiger Beach? I'm on a trip right now at Tiger Beach so if your interested in joining me please go to my website at www.scuba-adventures.com or email my office at [email protected] Enjoy but Please Protect! @Jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc #beautiful #lifechanging #inspirational #love #gorgeous #sharklove #sharkaffection #ilovesharks #EpicEncounters #ilovesharks #tigerbeach #bethechangetheworldneeds (at Tiger Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLAwcN2phlC/?igshid=16dhgbz0d3gs7

Video by @jim_abernethy // In this beautiful tiger shark video from Tiger Beach you can see the constant line of Tigers coming in peacefully one after another. They are completely unafraid, yet calm and relaxed here at Tiger Beach! This is because they are totally comfortable in our presence because we do not allow anyone to harass them in anyway! Aren't they beautiful? It is so sad that so many people still want to misrepresent them as mindless man-eating monsters! Join me and learn about the true nature of sharks! If your interested in joining me Email my office at [email protected] for more information or visit my website at www.scuba-adventures.com I'm incredibly grateful for all who help me with our shark and wildlife conservation campaigns at the link in my bio!

Video by @Jim_Abernethy // The affectionate side of sharks is something that the world doesn't believe possible, yet I teach my guests how to do this on every single trip and have success daily! Here you see me rubbing the lemon shark affectionately, the same that anyone would do with their dog! Although many of the lemon sharks have never had this before, they are definitely sentient creatures like dogs and come back to their new human friends repeatedly to get more shark love...affection! I use this new trusting relationship to get close enough to remove their hooks, which I started in 2002 and have removed 100's of hooks so far. I wish the 99% of the human population on planet Earth could actually see this, to dispel the most misunderstood creature on the planet...sharks, so please tag your friends and share this! As Jacques Cousteau said "We only protect what we love! " I love sharks! Do you love sharks? They are quite simply not mindless man eating monsters that they are so often projected as! As a hardcore shark conservationist this misconception is the hardest obstacle to overcome! Join me aboard our shark expedition vessel Shear Water to experience this life changing encounter yourselves! DM me your email address to get more information about my shark expeditions!

Image by @jim_abernethy // While one of my best friends Mitch Nevins @mitchnevins_ gives a lemon shark some love & affection (head rub), the shark opens its mouth wide to invite the remoras to clean its teeth! The transformation of wild lemon sharks to Super Model lemon sharks thriving on affection from humans is nothing short of Miraculous! Join us at Tiger Beach soon to see for yourself! On this specific trip, 8 of the divers were wearing the Ocean Technology Systems @oceantechnologysystems full face mask...The Guardian! It is so enjoyable to talk with your friends, as well as record the audio, during the dive while everything is happening! In my opinion this is the Worlds finest mask and I'm always wearing it! Our first trip back leaves July 17th and we would love for you to join us! DM me if your interested in joining me, on any of our shark trips and I'll email you more information.

Video produced by @thedodo from footage from @candace.crespi @jackiebatrus // Changing the misconception of sharks to the truth, will definitely help save them! As Jacques Cousteau said: "We only protect what we Love!" If more people loved sharks, we would definitely do a much better job of protecting our friends in the sea! Sharks are not mindless man-eating monsters! They are sentient creatures like our dogs that have feelings, emotions and can feel pain! In this video, @thedodo shows the relationship between @jim_abernethy and Emma the Tiger Shark! A relationship lasting nearly 2 decades so far, built using affection in addition to removing pain from the 4 hooks Jim Abernethy has removed so far! Be the Voice for our fellow earthlings! Be the change our planet needs you to be! @wildlifevoiceinc @jim_abernethy @sealegacy #sharklove #sharkaffection #tigerbeach #tigerbeach #tigershark (at Tiger Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_rwBTsgcSM/?igshid=251st4lfufe2
