Sharks
have captured our imagination for thousands of years, stirring
the fears of oceangoers as the legacy of sharks has been
as misunderstood as it has been " old and bloody ".
Marco and Philip Peters founders of Squalus, Inc grew up
amidst the myth and mystery of sharks in their childhood
home of Holland. Their shared youthful passion for sharks
led them to a joint quest to bring the wonder and beauty
of sharks to others in an unexpected way - LIVE.
Years
of hands-on marine research, including the design of a
safe, reliable, tank and filter system have resulted in
a dream come true for the Peters; the first traveling
live shark show in North America.
"Squalus"
(Latin for shark) - is the word to remember for one of
the most unique shows guaranteed to get noticed. Showtime...
As the audience is surrounded by the churning rhythm of
the soundtrack from "JAWS", a mist forms around
the stage. The audience tightens in anticipation as the
hydraulic door lifts, unveiling the 9000 gallon tank and
huge circling sharks! Our show director appears side-stage
and begins to describe the sharks. After discussing shark
facts and fiction, the director points out the cage being
lowered into the tank... moments later a diver plunges
in, and the cage is lifted out. The crowd is amazed as
the diver swims free with the sharks. The director and
diver watch for any aggressive shark behavior - communicating
with hand signals. As the show concludes with the diver
exiting the tank, the director invites the audience to
come up to the stage and "stare down a shark"...
