Two different great white sharks have breached dive cages with divers in last 3 weeks, stirring the debate on shark chumming and wrangling

For the second time in weeks, a great white shark has breached a shark dive cage containing divers. Both events took place with different sharks on different boats at Mexico's famed shark diving mecca, Guadalupe Island. To be clear - THESE ARE NOT SHARK ATTACKS - but situations where sharks have been excited by fish chum and 'wrangling' in order to bring them close to the cages for photo opportunities.

A location you would not expect - after decades of research, the longest continuous coral system has been discovered.

Largest Continuous Coral System Found

A location you would not expect - after decades of research, the longest continuous coral system has been discovered.

After two decades of exploration, scientists have discovered the largest continuous coral system surrounding the Hawaiian Islands.  Aside from the popular reefs found on the shallow, they also discovered more incredible reefs in mesophotic zone.  Also known as “twilight zone” with depths of 30 to 150 meters (100 to 500 feet) and is almost totally dark, they did not expect to see a higher cover percentage. "What is unique about this study is how vast and dense the coral cover is" according to Richard Pyle, lead researcher from Bishop Museum in Honolulu.
