What REALLY Happens When You Meet a Reef Shark Face to Face?

Dive into the adrenaline-pumping world of the Salty Locs diving crew as they venture to French Cap, St. Thomas US Virgin Islands for an unforgettable underwater adventure! This video captures the beauty and excitement of exploring the depths of French Cap's pinnacle dive site, showcasing stunning coral formations, vibrant marine life, and the thrill of spearfishing.

We'll learn about the invasive red lionfish and how they saturate the waters of the Caribbean Sea. Why are lionfish invasive? Understand why we hunt lionfish and the tools used such as the Lionator pole spear and how it helps us easily harvest lionfish.

But the real highlight? A heart-pounding encounter with a very assertive reef shark! Watch as the team navigates this unexpected challenge, showcasing bravery and respect for these incredible creatures.

Does the Sharkbanz work? Sharkbanz alerts a shark's sensory organ, known as ampullae of lorenzini. The Ampullae of Lorenzini are specialized electroreceptor organs found in the skin of sharks. These unique sensory structures allow sharks to detect weak electric fields produced by other animals, including prey and potential threats.

Join us as we unravel the mysteries of French Cap, from swimming through its underwater wonders to facing off with the ocean's apex predators. This is a dive experience you won't want to miss! Hit play and dive deep into the adventure.

When Salty Locs goes diving in the US Virgin Islands, sometimes hunting lionfish turns into encounters with reef sharks. Lionator pole spear out on the prowl! Have you ever had an encounter with a reef shark? Let us know in the comments.
