(Bahamas) February 5, 2006 — In his global search for uncommon and often unique shark adventures, CEO and explorer Patric Douglas has been to Alaska to dive with pack hunting Salmon Sharks. He has recently descended down to 2000’ feet in a submarine to encounter a monster deep water species and has presided over 3 years of Great White shark encounters at Isla Guadalupe,Mexico.

Today he and his crew are in the Bahamas taking thrill seeking divers into the world of the secretive and equally infamous Tiger Shark. “These are the Marquis Species”, explains Douglas. “We only take divers into the realm of the shark species that everyone knows about.The Tiger Shark has a worldwide reputation similar to that of the Great White shark and the Bull shark, it’s considered a man-eater”.

As he and his team have discovered with Great Whites the reputation of man-eater comes from years of misunderstanding. In the case of Great Whites Douglas says they are “greatly misunderstood”. “Typically we only hear about the shark encounters from the perspective of an attack survivor. Our shark diving operations conducted with cages for the safety of our divers allow them to understand the perspective of the shark and it’s day to day environment, this is unique to say the least”.

The Tiger shark is second only to the Great White shark in number of reported attacks on humans. Its large size and voraciousness make it a formidable predator in the ocean. Tiger sharks can be curious and aggressive towards humans in the water and have developed a negative global reputation. “We are changing all that, one diver at a time” says Douglas, “once you have seen these animals from the safety of a cage, you’ll understand as we do with Great Whites that sometimes reputations can be undeserved”.

About Patric Douglas

Cleaning up after his third hurricane in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Shark Diver’s Patric Douglas decided that there had to be a safer way to make a living. He moved back to the west coast where he was quickly offered a job working for a medical travel company escorting American doctors all over the globe. Douglas then spent the next two years as one of the first American tour guides back into Vietnam setting up a safe, unique travel route throughout its remarkable historically rich country.

While escorting 21-day tours through China, Bali, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and Latin America, his easygoing leadership and good humor made for some exciting moments on the road that would not have happened without him. Mountain slides in Peru, saltwater crocodiles blocking the road in Australia and even a Cyclone in New Zealand did not deter this imaginative expedition guide from offering the best available to his risk-taking international clients. Finding a safer way to make a living has now led this adventure entrepreneur into the deep sea realm of the world’s great sharks.
