one of the news stories reported a helicopter sighting of a couple 12-foot Tigers in the area around that time.

Who knows, though.

an instructor friend from scuba shack told me they were doing a dive at 5 graves about a week ago and the first diver stride in was face to face with a tiger. said about 10 feet. i believe a mds boat reported seeing a 10 - 12 foot tiger at maalaea. i think that as the baby whale are born we will be hearing more of this. migrate like whales? i am no marine biologist. not even close! just wondering

Turtles seem scarce these days

No turtles= many sharks. This may have been the rare Jaguar shark

I've heard of tigers being sighted near Makena -- closer to Marty's Reef, though.

Somehow, I wonder if the problem isn't that it's coming on whale season, but that the sharks are anxious for whale season and are "chomping at the bit" so to speak.

I think they swim around some..... BTW, sharks in the water are not a problem people in the water are the "problem"

they come in to feed on the afterbirth, I heard.

If you are not surfing or spearing....no worries. (Unless you are staring at one, of course)

My wife always tells me..."If your going to go swimming in their food bowl, you can't blame them if they eat you."
