Shark Research Institute
www.sharks.org/expeditions.htm Intermediate diving skills required.
If an adrenaline rush appeals to you, the institute offers ongoing projects aimed to protect all species of this endangered marine predator. Among them: Sandtiger Shark Expeditions, North Carolina coast. Volunteers assist veteran research diver Dean Fessler in data collection, photography and tagging. These sharks prefer to dwell among the shipwrecks along this shoreline. Also, Cocos Island Expedition, Costa Rica. Live onboard a state-of-the-art dive vessel and assist renowned expert Alex Antoniou in his study of the scalloped hammerhead shark by tagging specimens with acoustic telemetry and processing tissue samples.
