educate people about how these intimidating fish offer a huge benefit to our
oceans. The nonprofit Zoo Society also
assists in this effort through active fundraising for zoo programs and outside
conservation initiatives.
Thus far, the Eye-to-Eye Shark
Dive has proven quite successful.
" From the time we opened on October 11 through the first week of January, we had about 725 cage divers
and just under 200 scuba divers, " says
Kris Sherman, public relations coordinator for Point Defiance Zoo and
Aquarium. " We already have about
725 cage dives scheduled through
April 30 and another 50 scuba divers
scheduled so far this year. " For those
who are on the fence about whether
or not to take the plunge, Sherman
says, " Why would you not?
shark, slicing off its dorsal fin and
dumping the body - is often cited
as one of the greatest threats to shark
populations as desire for high-price
menu items like shark fin soup continue to rise. " Sharks are at the top
of the marine food chain and are
critical to maintaining balance in the
world's oceans, " Houck continues.
" They desperately need our help, and
we believe the Eye-to-Eye Shark Dive
is a great way to get more people involved in helping these animals. "
As a taxpayer-funded facility, Point
Defiance Zoo and Aquarium cannot
directly contribute profits from its sharkdive experience to conservation efforts.
Instead, programmers point visitors
to www.pdza.org/savesharks, where
abundant information can be found
about ways to help save wild sharks and
" Scuba divers who've been around
the world say it's rare to see a shark
in the wild, and shark sightings are
guaranteed at Point Defiance Zoo
and Aquarium, " she says. " Those
who choose the cage-dive experience
are thrilled that they have the opportunity to see sharks underwater, and
they don't need to learn how to scuba
dive to do that. For many, it's a oncein-a-lifetime experience that they will
tell their friends and family about for
years to come. "
More information, including options for dive reservations and a helpful FAQ about Point Defiance's Eyeto-Eye Shark Diving Experience, can
be found at www.pdza.org/dive.
