You wouldn't catch me swimming with that monster, could obviously swallow a person whole if it wanted. After feasting on the dead whale was quite contented, but if it were hungry. . .

WHEN I DIVE IN A WET SUIT OFF MONTEREY BAY, STRONGLY RESEMBLING AN ELEPHANT SEAL, GREAT WHITES DO NOT ATTACK ME...STRICTLY OUT OF PROFESSIONAL COURTESY!

nice photos.

I went on a "shark dive" about 20 years ago off the Bahamas. We only saw smaller sharks, 6-9 feet long, but still very impressive creatures.

Unlike every other fish, sharks are not afraid of humans and will get very close to examine you. I quickly figured out you have to get out of their way...

What a beautiful animal.

Shark? What shark?

I couldn't take my eyes off that wet suit.

Bloody Heck!

Jacques Cousteau would be impressed and very worried at the same time.

^ Reminded me of a routine a comedian used to do years back where he was Cousteau being interviewed:

Interviewer: So, Mr. Cousteau, you are not making the dive to find the giant sea creature rumored to be in these waters?

Cousteau: No, one of my sons will make the dive in my place.

(Sound of a commotion off camera, accompanied by shouts and screams)

Interviewer: Oh, my, it seems the sea creature has gotten hold of your son and is dragging him under!!...

Cousteau (shrugging): That is why I have so many sons,,,
