‘I am surprised they don’t attack us more often’. Andrew Fox’ reply might seem surprising. But indeed, when we enter the ocean, we automatically become part of the sharks’ world and hence part of the marine food chain.

Andrew Fox is the son of Australia’s famous champion spearfisherman and shark bite-victim Rodney Fox. Rodney invented cage diving with sharks to lose his fear and to learn about the sharks’ behaviour. Not wanting to be deterred by the deathly reputation of the top predators of the ocean, he was one of the pioneers of shark research in Australia and started his own company to take people on expedition to get up and close with the grey giants. Andrew has continued his father’s company and vision, supporting great white shark research unlocking the species’ secrets.

Join us on a journey to get to know great whites on a personal level. And yes, they do have individual personalities. Cat and Dom interview Andrew Fox about his father’s pioneering work, the company’s vision and what Andrew still finds fascinating about these animals.
