DiveCareDare Ocean Care and Diving Adventures with Tony Isaacson. "One take Tony" has a touch of Steve Irwin and David Attenborough at his core. Baba Dioum

DiveCareDare explores and shares bucket list diving adventures, ocean care activities and dares to make a difference for sharks. With inspiration from the likes of Lloyd Bridges [Mike Nelson - Sea Hunt], Rodney Fox, Jacques Cousteau, David Attenborough and Sylvia Earle, Tony Isaacson continues his life long search for the best places to dive with like minded adventurers. In association with traveltherenext.tv, DiveCareDare will roll out stories from ocean locations like the Galapagos Islands, Great Barrier Reef, Komodo, Fiji, Vanuatu, Australia's southern ocean and Africa in blogs and video. As you get to know Tony through his diving adventures and ocean care activities like Reef Check and Grey Nurse Shark Watch, you or someone you know might like to join a global network of divers who value biodiversity, want to see it and share it. He has a high regard for sharks and their pivotal role in our oceans. Having experience making documentaries about Leafy Seadragons and The Great Barrier Reef, Tony was the driving force to have Paul de Gelder meet and hand feed bull sharks for 60 Minutes in 2013. Get a feel for the knowledge, passion and drama that won multiple teaching awards and recognition for Hallett Cove School as "Best School in Australia" for marine education before Tony and Irene moved from South Australia to Queensland's Sunshine Coast in 2003. Tony and DiveCareDare are on a mission to make a difference. "In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we [can learn]."

How often do we get an opportunity to have a tiger, bull, lemon and tawny nurse shark in the same frame more than once on a dive?

Correct me if I am wrong.

Screen shots could prove it but that would take the fun out of identifying these four species yourselves.

Cathedral Shark Dive, Beqa Lagoon Resort, Fiji.

Day 2: Controlled Mayhem.

In Fiji, sharks hold an esteemed totem status as ancestral guardians (yavusa), deeply intertwined with indigenous i-Taukei culture and protection covenants. This spiritual connection is exceptionally profound for the villages on Beqa Island within the Beqa Lagoon, where the relationship with sharks transitions from ancient myth into a modern framework for marine conservation and economic livelihood.

The Legend of Dakuwaqa and Beqa Island

Central to the totem status of sharks across Fiji is Dakuwaqa, the legendary shark god. Revered as an all-seeing, shape-shifting sea deity, Dakuwaqa is believed to protect fishermen and sailors from disaster while at sea.
While Dakuwaqa acts as the supreme protector for several regions, the villages on Beqa Island claim an intimate, local connection to his origins.

One of 36 files taken at The Cathedral, Beqa Lagoon, Fiji this morning.

A good example of how professional shark divers know when to move in and to move away from the box of tuna heads when there are eight tiger sharks and an unknown number of opportunistic big bulls, supersized lemons and tawny nurse sharks in the mix.

Grey reef, black tip and white tip sharks have the smarts to be off the menu by cruising around above the impressive tower of coral that gives The Cathedral dive site its name.

While waiting to board a flight for two weeks of shark and coral dives in Fiji with Phil “Frogfather” Lewis, I regret not having the time to share my recent experiences in Japan with Nigel Marsh and friends.

So, when WiFi is available I will share posts made by Nigel and others on the trip to flag some of our shared highlights.

With over 1000 juvenile tortoises, the temporary breeding stock are doing their bit to save several species on Isabela Island, Galapagos, Ecuador.

So worth the two hours on a fast boat to visit from Santa Cruz on return from wolf and Darwin Islands.

Wild life like flamingos, penguins, large marine iguanas and a healthy number of playful sea lion pups are walking distance from the pier.

Highly recommended despite being the only tourist in my small group who was not fluent in Spanish.
