Around 40 big specimens usually turn up at each of the feeds and it's quite a physical job. It's more of a man's thing. Being pushed around every day is a lot of work and needs a lot of mental concentration. You have the sharks, the bait-box, the videographer and the customers to worry about. I very much enjoy being in the water with sharks, it's just that feeding is a little too physical.
Some sharks disappear from feeds for periods of around three months.
New sharks are always joining the feed. You cannot feed 40 sharks the way we do it. They are big animals and the amount of bait we offer is just not enough. They are also obviously breeding, so they must be happy. Another view is that if people like Stuart and Michelle now stop feeding the sharks, someone will get gobbled up because there is no food available.
