Not sure how far this is from TarJaks place of abode but a website for the beach states it is a protected area.

Evidently the sharks mustn't be aware.

I don't think Sharks can read signs.
Uneducated fish are dangerous and people are stupid to expect otherwise. :roll:

Shame. Horrible way to go...

Stay out the water!

Wrong place wrong time...

Looks like it.

{Insert Jaws movie reference pictures here} :O:

There's the problem. Sharks hunt in the morning and evening.:gulp:

Problem number 2.

I don't know for the Southern Hemisphere, but Northern, Sept-November is when whitey is active hunting seals. Surf at your own peril.

When sharks are about, do not go in the water. Just because it's never happened before and never happened to you.....

Luckily, we generally only get Basking Sharks up here, though Porbeagles have been sighted.

Mike.:hmmm:

I'm planning another shark dive trip in a few weeks. I'll post up some pictures.

Tiredness may have set in then.

If you can guarantee a quick and clean death then I'd like to go out via nature, seems better to be food for a greater animal than shoved in the ground for near eternity, or being burned and polluting the atmosphere.

Daaaaaaaaaaaah dum, daaaaaah dum, daaah dum, daah dum, daah dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, diddlee! :eek:

@HB: Ba. Dum. Tish.

The great White snark. :roll: :D:haha:

Herein is a common problem with many folks way of thinking, that "It", in whatever context you want to assign to the word, "only happens to other people".

Yep, and it's an inescapable fact that one day you will become 'the other person' to someone else.
