Seawalker:
So what kind of protection do you use while exploring the unpredictable and thrilling waters? I've seen various selections of knives and such, and videos with guys holding electric prods. Anyone carry those? Most of the time it seems I see folks completely "unarmed" :confused: Wouldn't they feel vulnerable?

I find this does the job.:D

Just remember, you don't have to out swim the shark . . . just your buddy.:babycrawl

Exactly, although I really thought twice about the underwater assault rifle :D

Sadly, the only time I have felt threatened has been on land, and there wasn't any wildlife around at the time. Well there was this cow, once, come to think of it...

For those who are offended by my statement let me mention that I'm trying to be funny. I know- I have a long way to go. I've found that if I don't put this disclaimer in immediately following a "humor attempt" I tend to get a tongue lashing...

Because the vast, vast majority of creatures in the ocean run away when approached by a diver.

Not always the case if one is is diving under bridges.
