HANGING OUT with BULL SHARKS...
Sharks have great hearing, and it's usually the sense they employ first when they're on the hunt because sound travels so well underwater. Sharks can start to pick up underwater noises farther away and at lower frequencies than people can, and those wavelengths are just the ones that are often most helpful in the ocean depths. For example, the sounds from swimming usually register in this range.
Next comes scent. Sharks have a renowned talent for sniffing out the tiniest quantities of chemicals in the water surrounding them, but not over extremely vast distances -- they tend to max out at around 450 yards (411 meters). They focus in on an odor by swinging their heads from side to side as they swim, so that their powerful nares can zone in on the source of the smell. Swimming into the current is another common shark strategy -- it's often the direction a scent is arriving from.

Thank you for increasing the quality of my vacation! Your dive shop is outstanding! A special thank you to Ruben, Charlie & Ramon for making my dive trip fun, safe and adventurous! Your staff does a great job in educating divers about local ocean ecological issues. I learn something new about the ocean, wildlife and diving every time I get in the water! Next time I am in Playa Del Carmen I am sure I'll be using your shop!
Thanks again for providing quality, value and professional service.

Don´t miss The LION FISH meeting previous to the capture night dives at The Hiperbaric Chamber (located on 10av and 28th street)this friday september 25th, 2009 at 7.30pm.
Lionfish, Petrois volitans, are invading Playa del Carmen’s reefs! Help us to control the lionfish population and minimize their impact on the reefs by participating in Playa del Carmen’s first nighttime lionfish collection. Instructors, divemasters, and experienced divers are all invited.

A message from our Customers....
Hi!
Doing well, but a shame to be back at work. Having salt-water withdrawal already. I'm glad that you enjoyed the pictures. As I said, I got a lot more of closeups of the sharks, but figure you have those. I found one more of Charlie in the most dangerous situation of them all ! I forgot to include it before. And thanks for Corrine's email. I just sent her some photos and a note. I'll be posting those notes on the web sites in the next week or two.
Thanks for all your help. I had a lot of fun.
