The Florida Association of Diving Instructors (FADI) DOES NOT support allowing Shark Tour Operations to continue in the waters that we all use daily. These tours need to banned completely! They create a dangerous relationship whereas sharks learn to associate humans with food. Those sharks grow less wary of humans and interaction will surely occur where humans are the losers in the equation. Then the sharks will subsequently become the losers in the long run as they will be hunted and killed! Please do the right thing for us and for our families and don't pander to the capitalistic ventures that exploit our land, seas, people, and the creatures who prefer to live in harmony. Do not support the tours based in Florida or businesses who advertise for them or in some way, support these shark tours. Please encourage visitors Florida to not support this form of tourism either. Remember the problems that these tour operators create for us to simply make a buck. That buck they make is at our overall expense & it may just cost a life of someone you love! We ask divers to boycott boats, captains, instructors, divers and businesses that break Florida law by feeding or baiting fish for amusement and to avoid shark education awareness scams, etc. Report violations of law to the FWC by calling the Wildlife Alert hotline at 1-888-404-3922. You can also text or email Tip@MyFWC.com. Continue the prohibition of shark feeding in Florida state waters Fla. Admin. Reg. 68B-5.005. Stop Baiting-Feeding of Sharks: increase fines, protect federal waters and punish offenders. http://chn.ge/1lyxhtG John Russell, FADI
