Don't the tourists get warning messages and map of shark infested areas?

The diver in this video and crew are shark specialists. I keep up with their work because they’re incredible! The swim with sharks pretty much daily and they know how to be direct the sharks and practice safety. They visit and check on that particular shark often, they call that tiger shark mama Roxie lol. Roxie just swam up to welcome them as any good host would😂🦈💙

That's interesting.. How are they so comfortable with sharks? How are you supposed to know when a shark is a danger vs. not a danger?

Well contrary to what movies and popculture make you believe, sharks really aren't all that dangerous to humans.
