In 2009, a shark week at Sam’s tours Palau special is every week: practically every dive crowns the encounter with sharks. Sam’s tours therefore appointed the shark week every week of the year. So far blue corner is considered one of the outstanding dive sites, to meet on sharks. Unfortunately, still many people have prejudice about the dangers allegedly posed by these animals and that not only for divers. At the same time, but also voices are loud who worry about the declining stock of sharks in the seas. Sam’s tours’ stated goal is therefore to draw attention to this situation. Dermot Keane, CEO of Sam’s tours, explains: the depletion of sharks is only recently in the public eye.

This is not only a dramatic reduction of the shark population, but the world’s largest eco-system is irretrievably distorted by the extermination. “The actress Daryl Hannah, who was recently in the Palau and is immersed with Sam’s tours, says: the decimation of the shark population worldwide is tragic and shocking – and must be stopped immediately.” More information can be found on the new website.
