A Good reason to go diving. When I was in Turks and Caicos 2 years ago and had about 5-6 black tip sharks circling the boat after everyone was in the water. It was sooo cooool

I heard a great speech on 1 September 2001 in regards to sharks. The media was full of shark attacks along the East Coast of Florida. Jeff from South Florida Diving HQ was taking us out on a shark feeding on the Nursery (Pompano) while it was still legal... His comment was... Pres Bush was too boring... since Bush is so boring, they have to pick on the sharks... I guess the sharks stopped biting after 11 Sept 2001, because I haven't heard much about shark attacks...

That is a pretty laughable comment. I dont think people should be out feeding sharks by the masses for 2 reasons. 1 -Do you see the signs that say "dont feed the alligators". Do you wonder why? An association with people and food maybe? 2 - it isnt our place to go in and start artifically introducing a food source on a daily basis (unless there is a hook on the other end ).
Wait until the summer and keep your ears open for Brevard and Volusia county. While the chances are still statistically small and the media gets stupid over it, there are a handful of "attacks" every summer, and gasp, yes after 2001. Then again, we could always blame the president. When all else fails, that always seems to work.
