For nearly four decades, Jim Abernethy has been running large predatory sharks & large aquatic wildlife expeditions with nature lovers, film crews and professional photographers, while respectfully not interfering with the wildlife. I interviewd him in 2020 in order to learn more about sharks, particularly how we should behave around them, how to be safe while in the water with them, and how to interpret their behavior in order to arm myself with information and combat my fear of sharks. The interview achieved all my goals. When I went to the Bahamas soon after, I encountered a large hamerhead shark, and instead of being terrified, it was a fantastic wildlife encounter. Hopefully the interview will have the same effect on you.
