Cleaning up after his third hurricane in the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Shark Diver’s Patric Douglas decided that there had to be a safer way to make a
living.
He moved back to the west coast where he was quickly
offered a job working for a medical travel company escorting American doctors all over the
globe.
Patric then spent the next two years as one of the first American tour
guides back into Vietnam setting
up a safe, unique travel route throughout its remarkable historically rich country.
While escorting 21-day tours through China, Bali, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and Latin America, Patric's
easygoing leadership and good humour made for some exciting moments on the road that would
not have happened without him.
Mountain slides in Peru, saltwater crocodiles blocking the road in
Australia and even a Cyclone in New Zealand did not deter this imaginative expedition
guide from offering the best available to his risk-taking international clients.
Patric also served as an outdoor reporter for CBS in San Francisco,
and founded an outdoor adventure club called 'Absolute Adventures' which continues to
thrive in San Francisco today.
Finding a safer way to make a living has now led this adventure
entrepreneur into the deep sea realm of the world’s great sharks.
For the past several years, Patric has dedicated his life to providing
educational and interactive experiences for clients through shark diving.

Great
White Sharks in Mexico:
November usually brings to mind visions of Thanksgiving, voting ballots and recovering
from Halloween candy. However, in the world of Great White sharks, November is their
Spring Break.
Tiger Shark
Encounters:
The Tiger shark is second only to the Great White shark in number of reported attacks on
humans. Its large size and voraciousness make it a formidable predator in the ocean.
