La forma de atraer los tiburones blancos a la embarcacion para fotografiarlos es mezclando desechos de pescado con agua salada y arrojando baldes de ese producto como para dejar un rastro que el tiburon pueda seguir. Se arroja una carnada grande atada a una soga y cuando el tiburon ataca la carnada en superficie se evita que el animal la tome para que no se acostubre a seer alimentado.
