Sharks are great fun to dive with........I'm more worried about fellow divers than the sharks!

my biggest being about a 12-13 foot Bull Shark (big!) during a hand meat feed. 2 garbage cans full of meat scraps were hand fed to them right in front of us in Fiji Beqa Lagoon. Sighhhhhhh, Fiji Fiji Fiji......awesome place to visit........









Caribbean Gray reef sharks, about 10 footers. I think I can count 12 of them in this one favorite photo of mine.......









Honestly, sharks are lazy opportunity feeders.....yes a frantic panic'd twitching hooked fish on a line will draw them, but my first hand observations after many shark dives is that as I said, they're more picky about what they'll eat than many people realize.....and divers taste bad and are chewy in wetsuits anyways.
