A School for Shark Bait

Visitors who want more than just a half-hour with
sharks or dolphins can sign up for UNEXSO's
Assistant Dolphin Trainer and Shark Feeder
programs.
The $159 one-day Assistant Dolphin Trainer
curriculum involves observing and participating in
training sessions and special training in animal
care and maintenance, husbandry, and record
keeping. Becoming a certified Shark Feeder
requires four consecutive days of training in the
specialized equipment, as well as shark petting and
handling, for a fee of $1,895; but, hey, if you
survive it, they send a press release to your
hometown newspaper!
