The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission charged four men from separate dive charters with illegal fish feeding within state waters after an undercover investigation. The investigation began after the FWC received numerous complaints from people on-board previous dive trips who said the sharks became so aggressive that the patrons had to get out of the water.ALSO: Get Breaking News Emails, Mobile AlertsThe FWC worked jointly with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. On Feb. 8, two deputies went undercover on a dive trip aboard Jupiter-based Emerald Charters.They captured video of Randall Jordan feeding sharks by hand. Deputies said he also used a milk crate filled with fish chunks to lure sharks to his location. Thomas Smith was operating the vessel during the dive.The deputies took another dive trip on Feb. 22 on board the vessel "Miss Jackie," which is used by Calypso Dive Charters in Lake Park. The boat is owned by Luis Roman of Orlando, and operated by Toni Crumrine. During the trip, deputies captured Roman feeding a goliath grouper and a lemon shark. Video also showed Roman trying to lure sharks to his location by shaking a milk crate filled with barracuda chunks.The FWC and PBSO said they used several GPS devices and other methods to confirm the fish feeding was taking place within state waters. In the Atlantic, that is up to three nautical miles from the nearest point of Florida coastline. "Just a couple years ago, somebody was on one of these trips in the Bahamas and he was bitten by a shark and he died," FWC spokeswoman Katie Johnson said. "So this is why we want to spread the word. This is a very dangerous thing to do just because it might attract more sharks. (Making) it very visual for the divers doesn't necessarily mean it's safe for those people underwater."A post on Emerald Charters' Facebook page said:"First of all, please let anyone know about this that wants to enrich their soul by celebrating my misfortune. I am still feeding sharks and educating divers about sharks. I'm sure after the press release and subsequent interviews, I will be more booked so talk it up! Come see us soon."All four men face second-degree misdemeanor charges punishable by up to 60 days in jail or up to a $500 fine. Fish feeding in Florida waters has been illegal since 2002.Follow Stephanie Berzinski on Twitter at @wpbf_stephanieView, Share Breaking News Photos On WPBF.com's u local:9146236
