"Him working with tiger sharks and bull sharks uncaged is totally irresponsible and dangerous," he said. "It wasn't a matter of 'if,' it was a matter of 'when.'"Correct, it's only common sense.

Swimming with sharks can be non habit forming.

I really need to slow down and read more carefully. I thought the title read: “man bit off shark Fla; dies”.
I couldn’t wait to read it and find out was a shark “fla” is and which one died as a result, the man or the shark?

The company offers shark trips to the Bahamas for enthusiasts and photographers hoping to interact with hammerhead and tiger sharks, according to its Web site.
Operators for the company stir in fish and fish parts to "chum" the water and attract the sharks, reads the itinerary. "Please be aware that these are not 'cage' dives; they are open water experiences," states the Web site. Do they offer a skydiving into a volcano package?

Well, my grand daddy gave me this good advive:
“When a shark bites you, get out of the water”.

Chum times there are unintended consequences.
But at least the chum worked.

You know how to tell whether or not there’s sharks in the water, before you go in?
Taste it, if it’s salty, there’s sharks in there. ‘Course, OTOH, if it’s fresh, there might still be sharks, they can swim in fresh water too.

LOL!
If you ever get the chance, there's a biographical movie about that nut. Quite funny to watch, in a sick sorta way.

Seems the shark was confused as to which was the chum.

The best line in the movie Grizzly Man -- where the bear photo came from -- "The bears left Timothy Treadwell alone because they thought he was mentally ill. But the bear that finally ate him had just had it with Timothy Treadwell."

The best line in the movie Grizzly Man -- I thought the best line in that movie was when they were interviewing the helicopter pilot that said "I guess one of those bears just thought he would be a tasty treat". Perfect.
