Why do roaches always die on their back?
That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

Yea, I watched some of it tonight. Good research-type real info type stuff and a little scary too.
Hell, after Jaws came out I could hardly take a shower. If you don't think you're fish bate when you enter the ocean, you are mistaken. I remember when I asked if sharks came up into the Chesapeake bay when I lived on the water in Md. Yea, but only Bull Sharks was the answer. Hell, later I found out they eat up more peeps than you can imagine, many many miles up into fresh water rivers.
I love to water ski and I feel like something's about to gobble me up every time I fall and have to wait on the boat to pick me up - in fresh water land locked lakes.
Yea, I like shark week.

Last month I did some diving while on vacation in the bahamas. On my last dive a seven foot long Caribbean reef shark had a little swim through on us. It just appeared out of the blue haze, looked at the dive group and cruised right through. It was so effortless in its motions, just ominously moving through the water like living submarine. I would have thought I would be scared but was awestruck instead. I ended up learning a lot about sharks from the divemaster and have a new appreciation and respect for them now.

Humans kill far more sharks than sharks kill humans. Sharks are an essential part of the marine ecosystem. I am in awe of the animals and enjoy watching shark week programming, but I don't like the fearmongering aspects of it. It's far more salacious than educational much of the time.

Discovery Channel's promotion for this year's Shark Week created quite a buzz, mostly by freaking people out -- exactly what they intended!

"Shark Week" was what my last gf called her monthly visit from Aunt Flo.
"Sorry, babe, it's Shark Week." = least favorite words.

End threadjack of my own thread.
I took the book portion in college and did the final open water cert. with Dive Abaco in Abaco, Bahamas which is a group of out islands east of nassau. All the diving was done at an underwater preserve/ Bahamian nat'l park. It was pretty high priced compared to some other places but incredible.
I think I'm going back in March, this time I'm going to try and do a shark feeding dive now that I have the cert. Shark feeds were outlawed in FL and the US I think, not for the danger but because environmentalist say it spoils how the sharks naturally feed, or something along those lines. In that area the local sharks are predominantly reefs, some lemon sharks too. There are some bull sharks and tiger sharks but they are less likely to encounter and they are more dangerous so that is a good thing.
