Default Re: So whadya get up to today.

I'd have to agree. That takes some real talent and just a bit of insanity. I wrestled with a 4' horn shark in San Diego bay on a night dive once. Only did it cuz a friend was video taping.
We watched the movie the next day where I worked in a dive shop and I didn't realize the size of the mouth on that thing, or that it was trying to bend around and bite my arm off... Darn thing really wiggled!!! After a min or so I was afraid to let go of it, but when I did it took off pretty quickly.

It's no small wonder that effing with wildlife can get you killed. lol.
I leave the jellyfish alone.... they sure are pretty to look at up close though! Truly amazing. I've toyed with large crabs and octopi, gotten inked, and stalked by a 12' mako while spear fishing. You really get the idea ingrained in you that you are in *their* territory. Poor steve was toying with fate and it finally caught up with him.

God rest his soul though, he sure was a funny guy.
