Shark kills Diver

[seaducer]

We didn't show up here on a space ship!

You don't know that.:mooner:

The natural discussion is that people are wanting "chance" encounters, as opposed to baited ones. Many people consider chumming cheating, and prefer the old fashioned way of hoping...

You have to remember Sharks are Apex predators they swim and eat, eat and swim. Sharks in a frenzy state (adding chum and blood to the situation and while maneuvering for food sharks are more than very aggressive) If they bite each other in their state of arousal what do you think will stop them sampling you?

I don't think any dive op can ensure your safety 100%. When you jump in the water you have to accept the risk that something can go wrong. I could understand filing a suit again a dive op because someone was injured or killed as a result of them poorly maintaining their boats and rental gear, but YOU make the choice to have an encounter with wild animals and YOU have to live, or die, with that decision.

I love how the guide has armor on but all of the tourists are half naked. If its necessary for the guide to protect himself why not the tourist 10 feet away?

finally I found the quick post area!!! geeeze pics are screwing my screen viz up!!!!

Anyways, if I was a DM and had to do shark dives every day all year long I might wear armor too! I mean the odds of getting bit go up every time you dive with them... Also the DM usually handles the bait bucket (or Chum) so I would think a little protection would be in order...
