Praat je Nederlands?


Me, a tiny bit!

Nice!
Just found this by pure happenstance.

PS - we're actually called Beqa Adventure Divers... :)

Dutch Shark Society - good People!

Yup that would be a gaggle of Fiji Bull Sharks! - click for detail!

Great project and website!

This is how you do it.
After their all-too-short stint at the SOSF, Georgina and Peter continue to invest their time and personal money into Shark conservation. With Peter being an excellent Shark photographer and Georgina, a brilliant writer and communicator, this new media-based initiative has all the trappings of becoming a great success - first of course locally in the Netherlands and the North Sea but also globally!

Wishing you the very best of success my friends!

Peter and the Sharks!

Blue Shark off the Algarve - source.

Remember Peter?

He and Georgina have just been in Portugal to kick off We Like Sharks.
This is a multifaceted program including Shark awareness, Shark research and hopefully, maybe even the establishment of Shark tourism in the Algarve. From what I can see, the local team is going through all the correct preliminary steps by involving the local stakeholders and trying to collect some baseline data before thinking about throwing in the first tourists - so best of success to them all!
Here's a report in Portuguese.



Notice the Tiger Shark?
Here's some better footage of that encounter in South Africa, with a plug for Peter's brilliant book about Sharks.



And have a look at this!
This would be Peter documenting the GFSC in April, in totally shocking visibility - maybe now you understand why I am so impressed by the results! The question being, who's the 90-year old Dutch Divinggirl? :)
Enjoy!
