Have you guys noticed that non-divers always talk about sharks whenever there is any mention of diving? Seriously, its shark shark shark shark shark shark everything shark. What about sharks? Don't you worry about sharks? "I don't dive cause of sharks" etc etc etc. Shark shark here, there, everywhere shark shark shark. And incidents like this just intensify that. Its like saying "i won't go to Los Angeles cause you can get hit by a train there." Wait, what? It's shark shark shark shark shark. And now that a shark bit a foam paddleboard, we're never going to hear the end of it from the never-have-dived. This is kind of like how 100% of midwest folk say they can't dive cause their ears "hurt" when they go down in a pool, because they simply have never heard of the idea of "equalizing". Seriously, 100%. Its a clean 100%. And if one explains the process to them they look slightly confused for a moment, blink, and then say hmmm and change the subject. 100%. Try it tomorrow. No judgement but it is funny. And now I know that for the next seven years every non diver who hears me say I dive at Catalina is going to warn me that there are shark attacks there. Shark shark shark shark. I WISH I could see a shark in the dive park!
