Sharks are Scary


You know what’s not so much fun when you’re observing great white sharks underwater? When the shark breaks through the steel bars of the cage you’re in and comes at you. I term that more terrifying.

This was the exact circumstance for a couple of divers off the coast of Mexico. The two men, on what was billed as the “ultimate shark diving experience” experienced something quite different than they expected. The divers said that the shark was not deliberately attacking them, but was momentarily blinded while it was feeding on tuna. Then it ran into the cage and broke it while trying to free itself, “Never-the-less it scared the **** out of me!!!” said the diver, who goes by the online handle of Scubadubadive.

The company that provided the “experience” said they would be designing and building new cages for future customers. They also said in a released statement, “When we said ‘You can get face-to-face with the ultimate predator”’this is not what we had in mind!”

    They should change their slogan to “we can get you face-to-tooth with the ultimate predator!”. Seriously, feeding sharks and then jumping in the water with them is a bit foolish.

    My favorite part? When the guy on the boat asks if they were the only two divers in the water… We only have two lawsuits pending, right?

    It’s amazing that we deem sharks as aggressively dangerous when we egg them on by feeding them for our own entertainment. We have laws in Florida that outlaw feeding alligators as to not associate humans with a food source… Think it’s time to do the same underwater?
