- No living creature spreads so much fear and terror, no animal has such a bad reputation. Cold blooded robber, killer and man-eater, in short: the shark. Marine biologists are now in the process of fathoming the mystery of this great unknown of the seas. They replaced horror myths that were ready for filming with astonishing insights into a perfect successful model of evolution that went into series production around 400 million years ago. Gary Adkinson, a renowned shark researcher, lives and works on the small archipelago of the "Abaco Islands" northwest of the Bahamas. The sea around the "Little Abaco Islands" is considered to be heavily "shark contaminated", a true paradise for researchers like Adkinson. Swarms of bull, hammer and Atlantic reef sharks live in front of the sandbanks of the Abaco Atolls. "It is dangerous to dive there, the sharks too unpredictable," warn even the professionals among the many diving instructors of the neighboring Bahama Islands. Only a few years ago, the then outsider Adkinson started an experiment that brought him international prestige in the conspiracy of the Haiforscher community. On the small Abaco island Walker's Cay he founded a shark research centre and a diving base, which is open for every diver with basic knowledge. Adkinson's recipe is surprisingly simple and yet not without a thrill. He claims that every diver can move safely even in a pack of eating sharks once he has learned to correctly assess the reactions of the animals. This is exactly what Adkinson and his staff are trying to teach shark enthusiasts in a 2-week course. "Until now", says Adkinson, "it still worked. Once you have the fear of the animals under control, you are ready to dive into a crowd of hunting sharks.
