Tiger sharks
Tiger shark
behaviour
Curious. Confident. Misunderstood.
Understanding how tiger sharks move, investigate and communicate is the key to a calm, respectful encounter.
Curiosity
Investigating the unknown
Tiger sharks often approach slowly and in wide circles to check what is new in their environment, including divers. A calm diver in a stable position is quickly accepted as part of the scenery.
Body language
Reading the signals
Relaxed swimming, smooth turns and a steady pace are normal behaviour. Our guides watch for changes in speed, posture or direction and manage the dive accordingly.
Hierarchy
Sharing the space
Several tiger sharks can be present at the same time. Larger animals usually move with more confidence while smaller ones keep their distance, creating a constantly changing scene.
