“Not scared of accountability.”

Florida dive operators are speaking out against the proposed federal shark-feeding ban, arguing that responsible, regulated shark diving has supported marine tourism, conservation awareness, and small businesses for decades.

The debate isn’t about avoiding oversight. It’s about ensuring policy is based on science, consistency, and fairness.

If the concern is attracting sharks with bait, then why target shark-diving operations while other forms of chumming and shark-attracting activities remain legal?

Veteran-owned businesses, charter operators, dive professionals, and coastal communities across Florida are paying close attention to what happens next.

🚨 Florida is trying to push a shark-feeding ban up to 200 miles offshore.

This article says what we’ve been saying from the start: the science just isn’t there.

Policy that affects an entire industry, coastal economy, and decades of responsible shark diving should be based on real evidence, not fear or politics.
