I was a bit apprehensive about a shark dive, but realized it was something that I should do to get over fifty years of Hollywood.
The fact that I went on a feeding dive where the feeders handle the sharks pretty much blew the popular Hollywood picture of sharks out of the water, I believe much more so than diving a reef with sharks.
Unfortunately I think you are correct, handling and feeding of sharks could have negative impacts through unwanted interactions. Especially with spear fishers.
However, I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything as it revolutionized my view of sharks, and my air consumption has been consistently better since because I no longer have that constant apprehension over encountering a shark.
