The Apex Encounter: How 2026 Shark Diving Expeditions are Revolutionizing Marine Conservation
If you’ve ever wanted to truly understand the pulse of the ocean, there is no substitute for the raw, heart-pounding clarity of a face-to-face encounter with a shark. In March 2026, the concept of a "shark dive" has evolved far beyond a simple adrenaline rush. We are witnessing the rise of Conservation-First Expeditions, where your presence in the water directly funds the research and protection of these critical keystone species. This matters to you because it transforms a "bucket list" item into a meaningful contribution to the planet’s health. By participating in these expeditions, you aren't just a spectator; you become a "citizen scientist," helping to collect data that shifts the global narrative from fear to respect.
In the United States, three major hubs have pioneered this new era of responsible shark interaction:
-
Florida (Jupiter & Palm Beach): Florida Shark Diving takes advantage of the Gulf Stream’s proximity to offer world-class encounters. They provide both cage diving and freediving options, allowing you to see species like Tiger, Hammerhead, and Bull sharks in crystal-clear water. Their service is designed to be accessible to everyone, with no prior SCUBA certification required.
-
Hawaii (North Shore, Oahu): One Ocean Diving has set the global standard for cageless, research-based encounters.

With sudden flash storms happening and temperatures getting warmer, its safe to say this day was definitely the turning point between winter and spring. I've already began seeing small green blooms since this day.
Once this huge storm hit, I decided like the insane foamer I am to head out and shoot trains in the intense downpour. When I originally set up at my first spot near the I-435 overpass, this train immediately showed up and stopped in the Waldron Siding. After a westbound passed, I decided to make my way to the front to shoot it stopped with some puddles before it got lined through. Then, as you see here, I intercepted it when it made its way through downtown Parkville. Safe to say I risked ruining my equipment over a dirty Heavy.

Mellow afternoon hanging out with my wife at our favorite hangout. The temps are in the very low 70s but with a breeze it feels much cooler. We are enjoying these temperate afternoons knowing how crappy it has been and how hot it will be later in the year. My/our favorite time of the year, warm enough that just a t-shirt is appropriate, and cool enough that a flannel would not be out of the question.

Tobacco: Some no name house blend "Mild English Blend" purchased from a brick and mortar shop I visited last week in Oregon. My assessment.....hohum. Not terrible but it reminds me of why I don't smoke English blends very often. I might chuck the remainder of the bag in the trash on the way out. It really is that hohum.
