Once they get into a feeding freanzy, they will eat anything, and that includes each other. In fact, I remember a film I saw once, where a shark was disembowled, tossed back overboard, then the intestines, and the disembowled shark proceded to eat those self same innards. UGH!!!
When you remove these sponges from the water, and dry them out, they become very brittle.They are more or less barrel shaped, if you can picture that. But they are huge......6-8 feet tall.. And very wide in diameter.
You can feel yourself sinking, even in totally black water. As well, you are correct, you can feel air bubble as they exhaust from the regulator....so there is that too.
the reporters are on the rise. They need a story and will make one if they don't have one.
I was diving St Maartin the year that the shark took off the little boys arm. The big brave Uncle jumped in and wrassled the shark ashore and retreved the arm. Something sounded fishy about it.
I was on a shark dive and mentioned it to the dive master and they laughed. They said that two weeks previously a party came down for a dive. They were from the area that the boy was attacked. The big brave Uncle was fishing and had caught the shark. When he had it into the surf, in shallow water, he let the little boy go in and pet the shark. That is when he got his arm ripped off and it is also the reason the big brave Uncle was able to retreve it. It was still on his friggin hook!! The dumbarsed reporters seemed to have missed that little bit of information. Reporters, lawyers and whores. Same mind set
THE LADY was, and still is, a very special place to the divers of Victoria. I wonder if the government will make it a marine park, officially. That means, up here, no spearfishing, removing of anything.....just take photos.
I am certainly not a fan of government, but this is one thing that I would get behind on.
Always came out too cold. Cave dives!!! Now there is an adventure. There is one island [swordfish island] just off Sooke, that has a cave that runs the whole lenth of it.....maybe 150 yars or so. A fascinating dive. The whole tunnel is filled with fish, anenomes, urchins, crabs.... And you get to swim through this myriad of life.
