First encounters with sharks

Most of us have already dived with sharks or have seen some of them while snorkelling. We all find sharks fascinating, but getting into the water with them is a completely different feeling to getting into the water with dolphins. It's amazing what movies like Jaws have triggered in us! Everyone expects them to pounce on us as soon as we enter the water. “Don’t jump in," Erich said. It could scare away the sharks or even make them think that a big piece of fish is being thrown into the water. They could come rushing and biting before they realize it's not fish. So get into the water slowly.

There are eight Caribbean reef sharks swimming around us. They are between 1.20 and 2.5 meters long. They are swimming peacefully, as far as I can tell. We have not yet received any lessons on how to interpret the behaviour of sharks. Slowly I dive 12 meters deep to the sandy bottom. Most of the divers and our 3 snorkelers are still at the water surface.

The sharks do not pay attention to me and stay with all the people at the surface. Only when they dive, do the sharks accompany them down. Like dogs on a leash, they follow the divers. More and more of them join in.

Once all the divers have reached the ground, the guys in the boat let down a basket on a rope. It’s full of fish heads. This brings some movement amongst the sharks who swim purposefully to the basket, trying to snatch pieces of fish from the plastic basket. They cannot bite through the basket, but by shaking it, small pieces of fish come loose. Their greed causes them to huddle at the basket. Each of them is trying to get more than their peers.

I'm getting closer and closer to the feed basket with my camera and am in the middle of the sharks who touch and jostle me because I'm in their way. Nevertheless, not a single shark bites me. I feel more like an obstacle. The photos turn out really well and the whole thing is a unique experience. Erich Ritter has been watching the whole scene and later says to me: "If you haven’t got any good shark pictures by now, you’re in the wrong hobby, don’t you think?" And he is right!

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
