Shark Experiences by Discovery

This Sunday, the Discovery Channel will begin airing Shark Week 2011. During shark week, viewers are treated to nonstop "informative" documentary footage of sharks attacking seals, sharks attacking people, boats and anything else that happens to be in their way. Of course there is a lot more to Shark Week than shark attacks.

If watching Shark Week isn't much of a thrill, maybe it's time to consider a Discovery Shark Experiences. Discovery has partnered with Excitations, a premier gifting company offering unique life experiences as memory-making gifts, to offer Discovery Experiences – unforgettable gifts of exploration, excitement and fun. Discovery currently offers two Shark Experiences. Feeding Sharks and Swimming with Sharks.

About the Feeding Sharks Experience: Enjoy the thrill of feeding a tank full of sharks! Get a behind-the-scenes aquarium tour and help prep the sharks' food.

As you may know, the Discovery Channel's 23rd Annual Shark Week will premiere on Sunday, July 31st. Get ready for the premiere with Restless Fury two-DVD set.

Shark Week Restless Fury gives viewers new respect for sharks. Sharks are more than just terrifying killing machines. Explore the science, myths and mystery of this formidable predator.

Within the DVD set you'll find: 

Man vs. Fish with Matt Watson (Tiger Shark). In this chapter, Watson catches and tags a tiger shark in Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

Ultimate Air Jaws in HD. Off the coast of South Africa, massive one-ton great white sharks blast from the water at 25 mph, with almost no warning, to pull a sneak attack on the seals that congregate there. Ten years ago, Discovery Channel premiered AIR JAWS which explored this phenomenon. It was an instant hit that still remains the fifth most-watched SHARK WEEK special of all time. But that was before HD.

Day of the Shark 3. Shark attack survivors recall six bloody tales of what happens when humans unwittingly find themselves face to face with the ocean’s top predator.

Sharkbite Beach. In 2008, fear gripped beaches along the coast of California and Mexico in the wake of 4 horrific shark attacks. Sharkbite Beach returns to the site of the attacks to recreate the dramatic stories of survival and search of clues that might explain why sharks turned on humans with such fury.

Shark Attack Survival Guide. Host Terry Schappert puts his Special Forces training to the test to demonstrate to viewers how to survive devastating shark attacks.

Shark Bites: Adventures in Shark Week. Late, Late Show Host, CRAIG FERGUSON has always loved Shark Week. But when he gets the chance to get off the couch and be in the show, he gets in way over his head.

Into the Shark Bite. Find out about the LAST thing you’d ever want to see in real life: close up views of attacks by the world’s most deadly sharks -- from INSIDE their mouths!

Bonus:
Sharks: Are They Hunting Us? Nothing captures headlines like a shark attack. Each account clouds the waters with information that fuels our fear but may not provide all the facts. Are sharks really pack hunters like lions or wolves? Are they acquiring a taste for human flesh? Are attacks on the rise? Sometimes it's hard to tell if the monster is just a myth. So what's the truth about man-eating sharks? In this one-hour documentary, we will expose the line between what's real and what's not.
