In this course, shark researcher Ocean Ramsey shares her lifetime of insights and expertise on: shark behavior, shark personalities, shark bites, how to avoid adverse encounters with sharks, what to do if you encounter a shark while swimming, snorkeling, diving, spearfishing, and shark conservation.

The course includes downloadable .pdfs with course highlights so you can print them out, take notes, and bring Ocean's main ideas with you. The course concludes with a quiz to test your knowledge.

This course is for anyone who goes into the ocean and anyone interested in sharks, one of the world's most fascinating apex predators.

"This course is for everyone," says Ocean. "I really wanted to address what I feel everyone in the world should know about sharks – not only for their own personal safety, so that they can have healthier, more respectful interactions with sharks and the ocean. But also, I hope people are inspired to help save the lives of sharks. With this information, I hope people will learn to appreciate sharks for their role as apex predators."

Just an internet connection. Safety is the top priority. By accessing the information in this class, you do so at will and at your own risk. Sharks are apex predators, and can behave aggressively. This course is intended to share useful information; in no way, shape, or form does this information encourage users to purposefully go dive with sharks. Ocean strongly advises against putting any of the information from this class into practice unless users are advanced swimmers, snorkelers, divers, surfers, or water persons and accompanied at all times by an experienced, professional guide.  Even then, the dangers associated with the ocean and observing any form of wildlife can always pose life-threatening risks, which all users must acknowledge and proceed at their own risk. 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to release, indemnify and hold Ocean Ramsey, Inspire Courses, The Inertia, and affiliates harmless from any and all losses, damages, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of this course and/or the inherent danger associated with entering the ocean and observing wildlife.

This is not a breath holding, spearfishing course, or diving course. You will not learn freediving or breathing techniques from Ocean.
