That must have been an awesome experience, I really would like to see a great white while diving. If it wanted to attack me, I probably would have never seen it coming anyway.

Isn't that the part of the dive (as your tank buoyancy starts to lighten) when you start looking for rocks to stuff into your BC pockets? ;-)Arnaud once bubbled...
About 30 minutes into the dive, I realize that I'm way underweight. I was using a jacket-style BC instead of a b/p and forgot to add 6lbs to make up for the weight of the plate... I had to leave my buddies and swim on the surface back to the shore.
Different shark species have different feeding patterns, but I remember looking at statistics once and noting that there had never seemed to be a record of a GWS attack in California on a human at night (well after sunset to well before sunrise -- dusk doesn't count). Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. At least this is what I told myself when I spent all night swimming around on the surface at west end Catalina a year ago this week on a freedive lobstering foray ... (This topic came up on another board, and someone mentioned 'Jaws' ... but that doesn't count either.)I can't say I was too happy about swimming on my own, at night, from the very end of the pier. I even had to cross underneath it... I kept thinking about the recent shark posts on the board to convince myself that it was going to be okay.

Well, I've even heard people resort to sand when desperate enough ...Arnaud once bubbled...
There was no rock! We never found the reef ;-0
