Actually, I'm going to be helping classes, so I will be the one in the black wesuit bobbing at the surface just outside the kelp line. Maybe i will bring a gallon of beef blood, just to make it more exciting :11:
I think i'm gonna bring a copy of the SF article in case there is an annoying student, but i'm sure they will all know on sunday, some are bound to check out the aquarium saturday. What a way to get certified eh?

Don't forget to teach the newbies the Leni Riefenstahl shark head-butting maneuver.

"Ms. Riefenstahl lied about her age in 1973 to be passed an official licence to go deep-diving in the Pacific Ocean. She started collecting images of the underwater beauty then, and she did not stop when a shark showed his appreciation of her by head-butting her 3 times, as documented on a TV documentary in 2002."

I was at the aquarium on Monday, and asked a friend who works there about the shark's snout.

This area was injured when the shark arrived, possbily during the original capture in the fisherman's net. Sharks are normally very resilient, recovering from injuries and sporting scars to prove it. But this injury never healed properly. It looked worse than it was. They think it will heal eventually.
