A dataset of dives compiled 96,169 days of vertical movement data from 989 individuals, encompassing 38 species that were representatives of 14 families of elasmobranch. Most depth data were obtained from tag deployments on representatives of the families Lamnidae and Carcharhinidae, accounting for 43.7 and 21.7% of the data days and 37.4 and 28.9% of the individuals, respectively. The number of tagged individuals varied across species, ranging from 1 (Munk’s pygmy devil ray, Mobula munkiana; pelagic stingray, Pteroplatytrygon violacea; and Cuban dogfish, Squalus cubensis) to 187 (white shark, Carcharodon carcharias) (Table 1). The number of days of data recorded by the tags per individual ranged from 7 to 784, with a mean (± SD) of 98.4 ± 80.9 data days per tag deployment across all species.
