sharkwatching
Oceanic apex tourism
Sharkwatching is the activity of observing sharks in their natural habitat, typically from boats or underwater in cages.
Like birdwatching or whale watching, it combines tourism with wildlife observation: We went sharkwatching off the coast of South Africa.
The term also appears as two words or hyphenated.
