Image by @Jim_abernethy // I'm still on the "Best of the Bahamas Shark Diving Expedition" and we have already seen, Tigers, Oceanic White Tips, Silkies, Lemons, Caribbean Reef Sharks and Nurse Sharks! We also swam with the famous swimming pigs of the Exumas, which were made more famous by our book about them called "The Secret of Pig Island" which is available through my office as well as Amazon. The book has won 3 awards so far! We're more than half way through this 10 day trip and now we're headed to the World's friendliest pod of wild dolphins and then Great Hammerheads, Bulls and Nurse Sharks! If you're interested in joining me on a shark trip but would like more information, please DM me your email address and I'll email it to you or email my office directly at [email protected] I'm incredibly grateful for all who help me with our shark and wildlife conservation campaigns at the link in my bio!

Image of Emma at dusk by @jim_abernethy // I'm very curious to see if you perceive this picture the same way that I do? Can you get past those sharp teeth and actually see a smile on Emma's face? I was very very fortunate to have emma around the boat when I took this in route to the bottom for my shark dive! It was an incredibly memorable and life changing situation to be able to interact with my favorite shark in the world both at twilight as well as on the night dive! Would you dive with large predatory sharks at night? Tag your friends that might enjoy this! Direct message me your email address if you're intrested in receiving more information about our Eco tourism shark trips!

Video by @jim_abernethy // Here is a beautiful night dive scene with a Lemon shark receiving some love and affection! Sharks are sentient creatures like all animals and truly enjoy this! Since 2002 I've been using love and affection to gain the sharks trust in order to remove their hooks! I've removed hundreds of hooks from 9 species so far! Infact I removed another one this past trip! For the last 7 years I've been teaching my guests how to make friends with sharks without feeding them with tremendous success! This greatly accelerates the rate I'm able to remove the hooks! What are your thoughts about this? Tag your friends that would enjoy this!

Image by @Jim_abernethy // Yesterday, Pia Ramirez from @rangoextendido gave her new lemon shark friend "Star" some Love and Affection! For almost 8 years now I've been teaching my guests how to make friends with sharks using love and affection like you see here! Once the sharks have had Love and Affection they seek out their new human friend out in order to get more! Having my guests helping me get the sharks to trust us greatly accelerates the rate at which I'm able to remove their hooks! I discovered the affectionate side of sharks 20 years ago in 2002 while successfully trying to remove a hook from a lemon shark! Since then I have removed hundreds of hooks from 8 different species. No doubt this removes the pain from the shark as well as finally allowing the injury to heal, but it also has a huge affect on that person's future. These very lucky people usually channel their new found shark love into shark conservation! Nothing could make me happier! What seems so strange is that I don't know of a single person worldwide that teaches anyone how to make friends with any predator, yet we are doing this using the animals that our species is the most afraid of! This clearly shows that the misconception that sharks have been labeled (mindless man-eating monsters) is definitely wrong! This means quite a lot to me, as it is very difficult to get people who hate sharks to protect them! As Jacques Cousteau said "We only Protect What We Love!" What do you think of all this? Please tag your friends that would do this? Would you try this? If you're interested in joining me on a shark expedition please send my office an email at [email protected] or visit my website at www.scuba-adventures.com to learn more about our life-changing trips! We just had 2 spots open up on our next trip February 5th to the 11th, 2022.

The underwater world is truly amazing and I can't wait to get out of isolation and get back to Tiger Beach!

Video by @jim_abernethy // I thought you might enjoy seeing the world's first shark love scene, where a shark gives a man affection. This is known as "The Emma Kiss Scene" from the film This is your Ocean: Sharks! In this scene Emma the 15ft Tiger Shark, my friend of nearly 20 years kisses me twice on the forehead! I was inspired to put this film together in order to convince the Bahamas Government to protect sharks their entire country during our shark conservation campaign of "Worth More Alive"! We were successful and on July 7, 2011 the Brilliant Bahamian government protected all the sharks in their entire country! Ecotourism is the key to saving our wildlife as unfortunately our species only cares about money! By spending money going shark diving, sharks are worth more and easier to protect! What are your thoughts on this scene! I truly love Emma and my relationship with her is priceless and unimaginable for most people! Watch it again and look at her eyes! Eyes are the window to the soul! What do you think of her?
