PREVENT SHARK ATTACKS - Identify Types & Behavior [Capable Cruising]
If you live on the water in the Caribbean—sailing, cruising, swimming, or otherwise—you should know the animals that live in it. Sharks are no exception. How dangerous are they? Are you likely to encounter one? Which ones are dangerous? What attracts them?
To answer these questions, we sat down with our friend, diving expert Steve Metcalf. In this video, he talks about how to identify the types of sharks you might encounter in the Caribbean, how to read their body language, and what he does to prevent unwanted contact.
