It is generally used by the tourist industry. The other one which was invented in 1975 by James M Ellis, is a very involved piece of machinery consisting of 100 meters of umbilical line from a mobile boat. This provides power to drive the cage (pneumatic or hydraulic), air for the diver and operates the variable bouyancy. It also drives the water pump via heat exchange to supply hot water to the diver. These cages are normally used by professional divers. [[User:Margesson|Margesson]] ([[User talk:Margesson|talk]]) 11:43, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Shark-proof cage. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

  • If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.

Cheers.—InternetArchiveBot (Report bug) 08:24, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I propose merging Shark proof cage and Shark baiting and renaming as Shark cage diving. Both articles are small and both are components of the shark cage diving activity, so consolidating them is logical. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 09:33, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Discuss

No objections noted, so I will consider this uncontroversial and make the merge and move at my convenience. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 18:05, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge done, move next. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 18:26, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Move also done. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 18:29, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New biased section added

The newly added section "Shark Tourism and Cage Diving" does not have a neutral point of view and features phrases such as "I personally believe." I'm new here, so... should this be edited or maybe deleted altogether? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.252.150.145 (talk) 04:04, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

THE TERM SHARK CAGE DIVING MUST BE CLARIFIED

THE TERM SHARK CAGE DIVING MUST BE CLARIFIED : There are two vastly different categories of shark cages. One is just a steel or aluminium cage that floats on the surface and is attached to the stern of a boat. This was first used by Jacques Cousteau in the 1950's. It is generally used by the tourist industry. The other one which was invented in 1975 by James M Ellis, is a very involved piece of machinery consisting of 100 meters of umbilical line from a mobile boat. This provides power to drive the cage (pneumatic or hydraulic), air for the diver and operates the variable bouyancy. It also drives the water pump via heat exchange to supply hot water to the diver. These cages are normally used by professional divers. Margesson (talk) 11:43, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And the self propelled version has a separate section in the article, the sources are a bit crappy, but it's there. It would be better if we had good independent (of inventor etc) WP:RS, and got rid of patent numbers and such. It's unclear to me what's unclear. Ping @Pbsouthwood if you wish to weigh in (he's actually a diver). Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:23, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
