When I was in Australia
studying white sharks, we set
out food because otherwise
we’d be there for months
without seeing a single shark.
When it was time to get up
close to the sharks, I used a
cage – so that they didn’t
mistake me for food!

I’ve looked at hammerheads
and many other sharks without
being in a shark cage and they
don’t bother me. I don’t do
anything that might attract
a large shark – like spearing a
fish. If you know how to act in
the water, you’re usually safe.

No. When you spend a lot of
time with sharks you find out that
the hardest thing is stopping
them from swimming away from
you! Even big sharks will
disappear. When people ask me,
‘What should I do when I see a
shark underwater?’, I tell them,
‘Relax – just enjoy the view.’

More people are eating sharks
and they are doing terrible things
to get them. To get shark fins for
shark soup, sharks are hunted
down. Their fins are cut off and
they are put back in the water.
That’s a terrible way to leave an
animal to die.

It was the first time I rode a full-
grown whale shark. They’re very
docile – and very fast! I hung on
to its dorsal fin and had a ride
around the sea that I’ll never
forget.
