with
Ross Noble
World famous stand-up comedian and actor, who recently took part in ITV's Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters.
I had never dived before filming Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters. Learning to dive and going diving with sharks in The Bahamas was genuinely life-changing. It opened my eyes to the underwater world, and how amazing sharks are. I'm delighted to be supporting the Shark Trust and can't wait to share my experience with the For the Love of Sharks audience in November!
Tom "The Blowfish" Hird
The world's only Heavy Metal Marine Biologist, and presenter of Netflix's All the Sharks
For a lad born and bred in West Yorkshire, sharks would seem the furthest from my mind. But like so many, I've become completely obsessed, and some how, some way, have managed to dedicate my life as The Blowfish to helping spread the awesome word of all that is shark. Brutal, badass and so so cute! It seems everything I do is For The Love of Sharks

Blue Shark Experience Auction
Spend a day with Shark Trust Chair of Trustees and pioneer of UK shark eco-tourism, Charles Hood. This unique trip will take you out into the deep blue sea off the stunning Cornish coastline. Looking for an iconic British Shark - the Blue Shark.
Your trip will start at Penzance harbour. Where you will be greeted (either in person or via video call/message) by Steve Backshall. He will give you some words of encouragement before you board Atlantic Adventures’ 7m RIB and set out to try to find Blue Sharks. Blue Sharks are quite possibly the most beautiful sharks in the ocean. They visit UK waters in the summer months. So, this trip will be arranged for dates in July/August 2027.
This incredible experience will be auctioned off live at For the Love of Sharks. You need to be in the audience to have a chance of bidding and winning this unique trip for you and up to three other friends or family.
The Shark Trust thanks Charles Hood for donating, putting together and hosting this trip. The proceeds of the winning bid will be split between Living with Sharks, that looks at the ways we live alongside sharks and includes our work on shark eco-tourism, and the Shark Trust’s Oceanic Programme, a wide-ranging advocacy effort targeting the conservation of oceanic sharks and rays, including Blue Sharks.
