# Kings of the Oceans

Unfortunately, the fear of sharks is common, mainly sparked by sensationalized stories, stereotyping, and films depicting them as dangerous killers. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, most of these animals are extremely docile and non-aggressive. Out of the 440 different species, only three are responsible for most human attacks. The most well-known species are the Great White shark, Tiger shark, Hammerhead shark, Bull shark, and, of course, the Whale shark. You only have to dive with sharks once to see how fascinating these animals really are.


Sharks have fantastic sensory organs. They can smell their prey from hundreds of meters away, have nearly a 360-degree field of vision, and can see very well even in the dark. Its skin is made up of scales that significantly reduc friction while swimming fast. Another fascinating fact is that they have multiple rows of teeth so that when they lose them, they grow right back again and again. As you can see, sharks are intriguing animals that we learn more about every day. Get to know these creatures on a personal level and decide for yourself if they are as big and scary as Hollywood makes them out to be. Go diving with sharks today!
