Cristina Zenato Instagram – Instinctually we know that our energy affects the world around us.
Nothing could be more valid than energy to work with sharks, diving and especially interacting with them.
Not all the girls in the shiver allow us to pet them and keep them in our lap; it is a personal choice of a selected few, usually the ones I have established a relationship for a very long time, because trust is at the base of our interactions.
During the shark interactive course with my shiver of Caribbean Reef sharks, there is a lot going on, sharks swimming around, the nurse shark intruding and pushing with his nose as the shark tries to relax, fish moving in and out, the energy of the student, eager to interact but still trying too hard and sometimes too intensely.
I teach to read the shark, the response, to handle her gently until she relaxes by adjusting the touch, the depth of the stroke, the entire output of the student, still making sure that everything else is going well.
Our energy is a key component in our interactions.

NOTE: Not all shark species need to swim in order to ventilate, many species like Caribbean Reef and Nurse have a secondary system called Buccal Pumping. | Posted on 08/Apr/2025 18:17:51
