Agustí Torres, a trained documentary filmmaker and shark researcher, has published a book through his animal protection organisation "Shark Med". He points to a table: "Here you can see how dangerous sharks are compared to other animals," says Torres with conviction. Most deaths are caused by mosquitoes.
Torres fondly remembers his first encounter with a female blue shark. "That was my most beautiful experience in the sea," he enthuses. "She was calm and curious. She approached slowly. I was probably the first person she had seen. Sharks use their sense of touch to explore their surroundings. Similar to a cat stroking a person's legs, this shark also wanted to touch me to see what I was like. It was wonderful, we circled each other with interest. Almost as if we were dancing together."
