Just got off the phone with shark biologist John Chisholm Who does the white shark data base.

He told me two interesting things.

In the interview with the diver photographer , he was told the shark was a foot longer than the 14 foot boat transom, makin it about 15 feet long , not the exaggerated length used by the press.

John's search of the female white shark data base indicates no match, so it is considered a new shark. -Tom

The shark keeps getting longer every time the story is posted.

See my post # 21 for more info. -Tom

a group of scuba divers encountered a once-in-a-lifetime experience – a great white shark

Sometimes also known as an end-of-a-lifetime experience.

We can learn so much from Sharks.

They’re working on electric cars now.

They’ve already invented fusion power...
they just don’t talk about it much.

I didn't worry as much, once I was in the water and could see what was going on. - Tom
