love Haifreunde,
All years back it so far. The new calendar is out! Although it shows us
always a lot of work and clutter all priorities, but it's just part. A slogan must be found to have photos
be seen, and ultimately we have to push the entire production and marketing chain.
Our annual calendar has been for many fans and even from August
come in the first orders. What is more, the charity
calendar, with its revenues also are an important component
funding for our projects now. Four our large-format calendars are published in the meantime and they always were a reflection of our work. In 2006 we started with "White Sharks", in parallel to our book "Jaws," 2007 was followed by "Shark Moments" with pictures and stories of our years activities in 2008 came together with Our new book of the calendar with the motto "robbers, monsters, cannibals, and the start of our current campaign was published in 2009, the calendar" Morituri te salutant "- matching the campaign idea completely in black and white.
celebrate with the 2010 calendar we have a small anniversary. It is the fifth in a row and we wanted to do something special. The topic came about quite naturally. In 2009, suddenly became more frequent shark accidents with divers and snorkelers. One of the dramatic highlights was certainly the death of a Schnorchlerin, the variables in Egypt by a Weißfl-Oceanic was bitten and bled to death.
What happened? But sharks are the monsters that the general public sees in them? We were required to have given endless interviews and trying to save the image of the animals. But it is not easy. The influences of ussfaktoren Mensch-/Hai-Begegnung have in fact changed dramatically in many places. By continuously feeding the animals are often conditioned and have thus lost their atural afraid of humans. They come much closer. In addition,
that many divers have lost their respect towards sharks. A
Haitauchgang for many of these "heroes" only successful if they can touch at least one of the animals there. In our office we have a week
at least 5 requests, where with great whites without g Käfi can dive. But head-shaking does not help, we need to address it. Any accident with sharks, every close encounter to become once again the fear of sharks and all of our educational work in recent years threatens to destroy itself.
We need our respect for the big predators back fi nd and we must treat them accordingly. Then shall the Haitourismus its original purpose and creates Haifreunde instead to confirm prejudices. And this is a our new calendar. We want to show that Haitauchgänge be with the right operator, with the right training and above all with the right attitude, unforgettable experiences can. Each
Haitauchgang remains a risk and should not vote any of these factors is strongly discouraged by a Haitauchgang! For as the pictures show,
conditioned animals come closer and who do not know how he should behave as a diver while submerged
dangerous. There
