Thousands of divers make this Sharks feeding dives every year and so far, zero casualty as in death due to shark attack. There was at least 1 incident of shark bite that I know of, and it was the Shark feeder himself that got bitten last year. He told me it was an accident when they Bull Shark took a nibble on his shoulder. Can't remember how many stitches he had, but he was back feeding the Sharks within 3 months! He was the pioneer of the Sharks feeding dives in Fiji. Posted 8 years ago
