Feeling you may be bored in September? Not any longer! Join Dr. Erich Ritter, Shark Behaviorist, from September 23 to 28 in Palau and attend his unique SharkSchoolTM program: For the first time ever, SharkSchoolTM, a unique shark-human-interaction program, will take place in Palau in September 2010 with Sam’s Tours as their exclusive host. Created by noted shark behaviorist Dr. Erich Ritter, the program is dedicated to bring divers, snorkelers and swimmers closer to sharks, with the intention to show the true nature of these incredible animals. The SharkSchoolTM program creates a sound understanding of shark behavior and teaches participants the basic principles of shark body language, the most likely intentions of a shark, and how to react to the various encounters. www.tourism-unlimited.com
