Exclamation Re: Shark dive advice?

Shark Diving is just great. I have been living and working in Africa for many years and was very fortunate to encounter sharks on many occasions. It is a shame that "sharks" have this stigma attached to them, to be aggressive man eating monsters. Quite frankly they are not. Not even the Great White and Bullshark. There are many different species out there, and last year I had one of the most spectacular experiences of my entire life. I have been swimming with whalesharks in the Gulf of Mexico. What an experience to be so close to such a fantastic creature. It was just awesome.
We should learn more about sharks. For various reasons humans kill 100 Million sharks per year. This is all wrong and hopefully understanding and learning more about sharks and their importance to a healthy ecosystem will safe these wonderful animals for the future.
