Join a Shark tagging expedition
When we are not diving with sharks, we work with our partners at the One Shark Project to conduct regular shark tagging expeditions. The goal of the project is to increase our scientific knowledge about tiger sharks in the Caribbean region, and we have devised effective nonlethal fishing techniques to exclusively target these apex predators. Once caught, we record the length and sex of the animal, take DNA samples for our growing database, and tag the shark before its release.
We are now offering our clients the opportunity to become citizen scientists and contribute to shark conservation in SXM by joining the team for a full day of shark tagging!
