60 Minutes just came on. There is going to be a piece with Cooper Anderson diving with some guy in S. Africa who dives and films Great Whites w/o a cage!

I like the way they had Anderson Cooper weighted... kerplonk!
If you missed it: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6341606n&tag=contentMain;contentAux
Looked like a very simple free ascent "in the current that suddenly appeared".
But, yes- the guide, Mike Rutsen, had a different perspective on GWSharks.
Kinda' like Steve Irwin or Tim Treadwell. It's only a matter of time.

That was a great piece. I especially liked how he went in to detail talking about how to act to make the shark not mess with you, and how the majority of people out there have probably had some sort of shark encounter and just didn't know it.
My (non-diving) wife and I watched it and we both enjoyed the show. She asked me if I would like to do that dive and I said truthfully that I didn't think I would do it. I don't know how much experience Anderson has with scuba, but props to him for diving without a cage!
