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

Thank you for the relief.
Your posts are always sober on this topic. You've noted many times that the increase in these sorts of sightings is what's happens when you move food sources close to mankind, or when mankind creeps closer to their home.
As such, can you please comment on this paragraph - specifically, how wise is it to swim after a Great White? I understand, they're all not bloodthirsty, eat-anything machines. But they're also not guppies.
The shark had no interest in anybody, Cocci said. She came back two more times, and that enabled me to get the video. I had to swim my butt off to try to keep up with her.

Seeing a really big shark in real life is impressive. My son and i used to fish the Perlas Islands almost every weekend. We would see 8-10 foot hammerheads every trip out. One day we saw a Tiger that was longer than my 20 foot boat. Seriously huge. At one point it breached like a whale or a sub right through a ball of bait. You could have dropped a 55 gallon drum in its mouth easily. Its like seeing a 600 pound marlin in real life versus TV. No comparison.

Down here , we are aware of him. He comes down the East coast, goes into the Gulf, then heads back up the east coast in the Spring. He has cruised around fishermen, etc, giving people great photos, but hasnt bothered anyone.

Say, what was that brown streak following those divers?

They all are but only when they've got the munchies.....

Myself when I was in the boat getting ready to enter the water, I was more concerned with sharks than when I was actually in the water and saw them.
I think it is an individual thing.- Tom
To: Capt. Tom
I’m sorry but I think that anyone who dives where ANY dangerous sharks are present, W/O being INSIDE of a secure cage, is “a sexual pecan”.
Yours, TMN78247

We can learn so much from Sharks.
Theyre working on electric cars now.
