Makos, Blue Sharks and Dogfish Sharks Expedition

COME DIVING WITH MAKOS, BLUE SHARKS & DOGFISH!

A New England Shark Safari like no other:

Join me for two days chumming for blue sharks and shortfin mako sharks off the coast of Rhode Island. Our hosts will be award-winning Film Maker Joe Romeiro and Brian Raymond who have an excellent record of attracting sharks.

Then, we will spend our third day on one of Rhode Island's offshore wrecks where we will chum for spiny dogfish and dusky smoothhound sharks. This has never been attempted before but local spear-fishermen report being mobbed by dogfish as soon as they catch a fish, so our chumming efforts should have interesting results!

The Sharks:

Blue sharks captivate everyone that dives with them. Their iridescent cobalt blue flanks glow in the sunlight as they swim gracefully towards you. Curious and bold but rarely aggressive, they make fantastic snorkeling companions and even better photography subjects.

Mako Sharks are well known as the fastest shark in sea. Aggressive hunters, makos are all business; they come in lightening fast, hit the bait hard and then quickly disappear unless you have master shark wranglers like Joe and Brian onboard!

Spiny Dogfish and Dusky Smoothhounds. Spinies are one of the feistiest little sharks you'll ever encounter. What they lack in stature, they make up for in shear numbers. Historically they would swim in plague-sized schools from one bay to the next consuming everything small enough to eat. Now depleted by over-fishing in many areas, New England may be the last stronghold for this species.

Dusky Smoothhounds are illusive little sharks that are rarely seen by divers. Further south they live at depths unreachable on scuba but in Rhode Island they are known to mix in with schooling spiny dogfishes so we'll be keeping a lookout for them during our day of chumming on the wrecks.

Join us for a long weekend of epic shark encounters!
