Swimming with the Sharks

in Random Bytes

WhitesharkSomething deep down inside me is saying that this is “A Really Dumb Idea”.

Something else is saying that this is “A Chance of a Lifetime”.

In about 93 minutes, I’m going to be on my way to a dive off the Cape Horn into the midst of the most fearsome predator in the seven seas - the Great White Shark – and I’m going to podcast it.

35bSouth Africa is one of four regions in the world where the Great White Shark and the Humans intermingle. GWS attacks are above average for the past 20 years, but during this same time, wet suit technology has drastically improved and the population in affected areas has also increased. This means more people in the water for longer periods of time.

Which means more shark attacks.

So tell me why again I want to test this theory out?

Pictures will end up here (or here for you RSS freaks) when I get a chance to upload them.

    You're starting to worry us here on the main land Ross. Still no word for 24 hours after a Shark Swimming update :)

    I wouldn't go in the water if I were you but....

    Ok, very funny, Ross. Now send me an email! Please don't be podcasting from within a GWS's belly! - Mrs. Ross
