Pesca de tubarões! /Shark Fishin´!

W: one of our team members, and probably one of the best divers i have met until today. Swills like a fish, breathes with some sort of gills and knows all about OC, EAN and Rebreathers, well..dive = W
He was the one with the Kuda bait on the end of his shaft!

Getting the job done fast = B, our "fly-diver"! (Goes down so fast and working underwater is what he knows best! Also an amazing diver, no BS, simply goes down and does it!

A pesca com anzol é necessária para a colocação de transmissores internos e externos que permitiram seguir e analisar os percursos destes animais.

Antes de se iniciar, um dos mergulhadores captura uma barracuda nas redondezas do local de estudo e depois é colocado um "filete" no anzol; de seguida o mergulhador transportará o "filete" na ponta do seu arpão de forma a poder entregar este acepipe ao tubarão pretendido.

De seguida, felizmente utilizam-se carretos eléctricos para a elevação do especimen até ao barco, onde se iniciam os trabalhos.



Hook and Line are required to capture sharks in order to deploy internal and external transmitters; these will allow us to gather data on their behaviour afterwards.

For this, one of the divers goes down on the spot and captures a "Kuda" for bait;
after that, a "fillet" is placed on the hook and a diver will take it up and close to a nearby Shark; Faster than long lining with the benefit of low injuries or fatalities.
Fortunately electric reels will be used to pull the specimen up to the boat where the placing of the transmitters takes place.
