Danger Below

Deep sea diving is extreme enough, mix sharks into the equation and you have the ultimate date. Take your date or a couple of buddies on a weekend getaway to Nassau Paradise Island and swim with the sharks. To take this date up a notch, charter a private jet for two to the island. Then, book a suite in the Imperial Club at the Atlantis Resort. Take a trip to Stuart Cove's and get ready for an adrenaline-pumping underwater adventure. The shark experience here includes two dives in underwater tanks. The first dive is a free swim with the sharks. This is an up close view at these gigantic creatures of the sea. The second dive is a shark-feeding dive. Divers kneel on the bottom of the sand, dodging shark fins as sharp teeth devour bait from the feeder's spears.

Before you dive under, you should load up on shark facts. For instance, sharks are considered to be one of the most enduring species on the planet. Fossils dating back three hundred million years prove how long these predators have been swimming around. Shark babies are called pups and are born either by hatching or by an egg or a combination of both. Imagine those labor pains! And the legend is true: certain species of shark like the Great White and the Mako would actually drown if they stopped swimming. There are tons of other fun shark facts and amazing videos to be found on the Discovery Channel. Who would know better? After all, they do Shark Week!

If you are planning your dive and don't feel completely safe in the suit provided you can always order up some extra protection. The Neptunic shark suit is the premiere diving suit to keep you safe from the big bites. This lightweight steel mesh suit has been used by researchers and filmmakers the world over. Think of it as a suit of armor against charging sharks. Wouldn't you want extra protection?

Suppose you do get bit by a shark and survive the attack. Maybe you'll have a great scar and story to tell. But if you come out of the water unscathed there is no reason why you can't get a souvenir. Although Venice, Florida has dubbed itself the shark tooth capitol of the world, there are plenty of other places to get a hold of genuine shark teeth. Jtssharkteeth.com can give you a closer look at the structure and sizes of shark teeth. Thinking of doing something different with your shark teeth? Try crafting them into jewelry here.

Of course any trip to see sharks would not be complete without a viewing of the 1975 classic "JAWS." Thanks to "Bruce" (the name given to the mechanical shark by director Steven Spielberg) the summer movie blockbuster was born. And like every other popular film or television show, "JAWS" has spawned its own cottage industry of fanatics. On that site you'll be able to keep up to date with Jawsfest news, swap stories with other fans and find rare JAWS collectibles. Good luck and happy diving!
