The Deadly 60 team went to 'Tiger Beach' in the Bahamas because of the large number of sharks that can be found there. The team was joined by Dr Sam Gruber, who has been studying sharks here for decades. His studies on lemon sharks are one of the longest running of any shark species in the world. He advised the team on the behaviour of the sharks they would find.

Tiger Beach, in the Bahamas, is an underwater 'beach', 5-10 metres beneath the surface with beautiful clean sand. This is the best place to see many types of sharks. Tiger sharks, lemon sharks and occasionally hammerheads can be found here. Sharks come to this area because very deep water meets very shallow water at this point attracting fish and other shark prey.
