What kind of diving instructor would go into shark-infested waters?

I’ve been diving for 22 years. Overall, the shark population is in serious decline. Other than the occasional nurse sharks sitting on the bottom I literally have not seen a shark in years — and I take 1 or 2 weeks to go diving each year. When I first began diving in the mid-90’s I saw at least 1 shark any time I left the dive boat.

That said, there are still places that people go to interact with sharks. The Bahamas are popular. Certain coastal areas of central & south America still see bull sharks.

This dive operation is featuring diving with sharks and it should be noted that these are pretty remote islands and it’s very expensive to dive there.
