25th Anniversary of Shark Week
Epic Diving was thrilled to be involved with the production of How Jaws Changed the World, featured on the Discovery Channel during their 25th anniversary of Shark Week. The show aired on August 14th, and was an analysis of the movie Jaws and its influence of the pop culture mythology that surrounds sharks.

HHP Productions with Norbert Wu
We were excited to welcome Howard and Michele Hall, and Norbert Wu to Cat Island! We had a perfect week of sharks and the encounters were amazing! One day we were surrounded by 7 large Oceanic Whitetips, only one was male, countless silky sharks, and a few dorado flashing by. The next day, a Blue Marlin came flying out of the deep.

A Week of Sharks & Inspiration
We had an art inspiring week with wildlife sculptor and conservationist Victor Douieb. Captivated by their power, grace and beauty, Victor began sculpting sharks as a means of expressing his appreciation of this perfectly evolved creature's pure simplicity, but also to help bring attention to the impact that overfishing and the needless slaughter by the shark fin industry is posing to shark populations worldwide.

We were very excited to dive with a group from Shark Angels, a non-governmental organization which works around the world as a network to bring about change.
