Cristina Zenato, a scuba diver, better known as the shark dancer, is so good with sharks that she can even swim with them and is on a mission to make a difference in their lives, Daily Star reported.


"When I'm with the sharks I can tell if something has been disturbing them. They have a need to be understood and to be protected. For each hook I remove I know I've done something for one of my sharks. I don't expect to save all the sharks in the world but when I can reach out and take the pain away I will," she told the publication.

However, even though she may be friends with the creatures, she still acknowledges how dangerous the species can be.
"Out of respect for my knowledge of sharks and their nature and the fact that they have two to fifty rows of teeth I wear protection. The chain mail has a vital role. It allows you to drop the barrier between you and the animals," she added.
