What does shark diving mean?

Shark diving refers to an extreme sport and travel experience in which divers or tourists dive into the sea where sharks live, and observe and contact sharks at close range.

Shark diving usually needs to be carried out in the designated sea area for a fixed time under the guidance of professionals, and the safety measures need to be strictly observed. Although shark diving sounds exciting, contact with wild animals is definitely risky. In addition, shark diving also needs to respect and protect the natural environment and shark habitat.

As a tourist project, shark diving is becoming more and more popular all over the world, especially in Australia, South Africa, the United States, Mexico and Hawaii. In some places, people can also choose to dive in shark cages to increase safety.

The importance of protecting sharks:

Shark is a key species in marine ecosystem, which plays an important role in maintaining marine ecological balance, promoting marine species diversity, controlling benthic organisms and maintaining water quality. However, due to many factors, such as overfishing, habitat destruction and climate change, the population of sharks has dropped sharply, and many species of sharks are on the verge of extinction.

The importance of protecting sharks lies in maintaining the health of marine ecosystems and promoting the sustainable use of the oceans. If the number of sharks continues to decline, it will have a major impact on the marine ecosystem, such as excessive increase in the number of fish, decline in water quality, damage to the marine food chain and other issues. Therefore, active measures should be taken, including strengthening legal protection, controlling catch and promoting sustainable fishing, to ensure the status and role of sharks in marine ecosystem.
