Who the FUCK goes free diving with a 20ft Great White?
I conquered my Jaws fear and Scuba dives with some REALLY big Reef Sharks which was the coolest thing ever.
Until I surfaced and my head was out the water & legs were DOWN THERE WHERE SHARKS ARE ARRRRGHHHâŠ
That is cool
Sharks are cool
Love diving with them
My first dive after passing PADI course I got to swim with whale sharks. My instructor had done 80 dives at the same spot and never seen them. Followed them for about 15 minutes so dive profile was all over the place! Fucking massive things.
My son was watching a debunking video the other day, and apparently human blood doesnât drive sharks wild and they also donât attack on a whim.
Make of that what you willâŠ
Whale sharks would give you a good gumming
Bull and tigers, not so much
Would love to dive with hammerheads
Thats one big scary cunt. Prefer to dive with muffâŠ
(ill get my coat)
I have a tail about hammer heads.
Was on a ship sailing across the Atlantic from South Africa to Louisiana US, when some of the Filipino crew caught a baby hammerhead shark.
As it wasnât dinner time they popped it into the swimming pool (sea water filled) to keep it fresh. the next morning I was on the bridge wing getting some exercise and could see a huge Hammer head swimming alonside and keeping in line with swimming pool. I am at this point assuming it is the mother of the little one in the pool.
At this point a female, only one on board (the captains wife) comes out of the accommodation with a towel and heads to the swimming pool area.
Where she promptly drops her towel on the hand rail and dives into the water. I can still hear her screams as she jumps out of the pool after noticing the little hammerhead swimming around alongside her. The crew got a bollocking from the old man for not telling anybody the pool was in use.
The big shark was still keeping pace with the vessel at this stage until the Filipinoâs took the baby out of the pool and prepared it for lunch at which point the mother peeled of the port quarter never to be seen (by me) again.
When working for Corporate America couple of Brits came over for an event on the East Coast (opposite coast to Dubai - Gulf of Oman/Indian Ocean)
We stayed at the legendary Sandy Beach Hotel much loved.
Snoopy Rock is about 300m offshore, Coral Forest to the right side.
I organised snorkelling gear I did a safety briefing.
I told the Brits IF they were lucky they would see some Black Tip Reef Sharks told them the protocols & that they were cool & ignored swimmers.
We went out. Floating in about 10m of water a Toyota Yaris sized shark swam beneath us.
1 Brit did a Roadrunner style exit. I swear he ran on the surface of the water screaming.
I swam around with the beast for a bit even swam alongside him.
Got back to the beach, the Brit was apoplectic.Me " um I told you there could be Sharks if we were lucky.
Fvck you how could you do that I thought you were joking.
Oh how we laughed. Up until I left he NEVER lived that down. Every sales meeting thereafter Meep Meep.
Amazing animals.
But no fucking way would I be in the water with a Great White like that
Ahh Sandy Beach Hotel many an afternoon tipple taken there.
The hellish âCoconut crabâ, so named because it climbs trees and hides amongst the coconuts, waiting for an unwitting victim to pass underneath. The helpless victim remains unaware at the horror to come until the crab lets out an ear piercing squeal as it drops with deadly precision onto the head of itâs quarry, knocking it unconscious for the crab to start feeding on itâs fresh meal without any struggle. The specimen pictured is a juvenile, with adults reaching up to 5 feet across and weighing in at around 20kg.
Nice rating: 0/10
So when did it drop on the head of your binman?
The young crabs donât follow the traditional hunting methods these days, that one is scrounging for leftover KFC.
Looks like the kind of crab crawling about in @saintbletchâs matted grey old pubic carpet?
