Silver Tip Shark

Title – Silver Tip Shark
Date – August 2001
Location - Papua New Guinea

The Silver Tip Shark is just one of the many sharks to be found just under the water in different parts of the world. Different species of shark are found in every ocean of the world and we have all seen at least one of the jaws films… we should probably never dip our toes in the water…

At Beyond The Blue we know that the key is not to ignore opportunities because of potential dangers but to understand the dangers, assess them, analyse them and then act in a safe manner. This Silver Tip Shark didn’t stop us going in the water, on this occasion we actually went out looking for them, when we found them we had the most exciting dive watching them feed and when we assessed that the situation had suddenly got out of our control, we made a hasty exit and returned to the boat, the sharks followed us…. It seems we made the right choice!

Our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshops help the individuals attending, to assess risks before and during their travels.
