HID=Shark

[IndyScott]

I have Read that hid lights draw bull sharks. What have you heard? :mean:

 

[edward_teach]

i've never seen a shark in a cave

ALL sharks can sense electriucal signals from any electrical kit you have, including your computer and your heart!!!!

Dont worry about it. Your bubbles will keep them away unless you happen to be carrying dinner.

I’ve heard anecdotal evidence that sharks are attracted to HIDs, scooters and rebreathers.

Sounds like most divers then

HIDS, Lights and scooters put out large electrical fields so would be more obvious.

Rebreathers would put out no more than your average dive computer. But as they dont bubble they dont scare so much. Or is this another George Irvine started rumour to belittle the Inspiration!!!

Now, now... let's be gentle... George will give you plenty of ammo without any conjecture about what he might have done...

You trying to make me spend money on an HID light so I can get some shark pictures???

Actually I should take that back as George's very limited diving experince means he wont have ever seen a shark

Actually I found the perfect Shark deterent years ago while diving the Shark Observatory at Ras Mohammed. Its easy, just carry a loaded camera. No bloody decent fish will come anywhere near you then!!!!!!:upset:

My experience has been that I do see more sharks, particularly bulls, now that I'm diving an HID.
