Top of the list of prizes is the chance to spend time with adventurer and wildlife expert Steve Backshall at the 2025 Go Diving Show, a workout session with Nat Geo star Aldo Kane, a kayaking trip alongside white-water expert and diver Sal Montgomery, and a Zoom call with 'shark whisperer' Cristina Zenato.

On top of that, some of the most admired companies in the diving and scuba industry have been quick to support the charity with fabulous prizes that make the £5 ticket price worth more than just a flutter.

Master Liveaboards, BSAC, Midlands Diving Chamber, Go Freediving and Blue Shark Snorkel have all generously donated experience prizes, while celebrated photographer Alex Mustard has donated a print and artists Scott Gleed, and Olivier Leger have donated a sculpture and illustration to help boost the fundraising pot.

Fourth Element has donated Ocean Positive gear, and LA watch company Nodus has gifted the charity a stunning dive watch.

For land lovers, the charity has included a five-star London hotel stay at Bankside Hotel plus a family visit to Longleat Safari Park in the roster of prizes.

Campaign director for Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: "We've been overwhelmed with support from companies and individuals that we truly admire and who have supported us on our 20-year journey and we're truly grateful to them all.

"While we feel incredibly proud of our achievements over the past two decades – and we are super excited about the next chapter – this prize draw isn't a vanity project.

"It represents a real lifeline to our work and important advancements in the global protection of sharks.

"So, we hope divers, dive clubs and even bargain hunters grab some tickets to make this a massive success."

The charity hopes that the prize draw will generate crucial funds to launch a brand new, ground-breaking, campaign to enrol the public and increase support for the protection of sharks around the world.

The prize winners will be announced on 1 December 2024.

Bite-Back is a leading UK charity dedicated to shark and marine conservation.

Founded in 2004, its goal is to combat the overfishing and overconsumption of wild seafish.
