1. If they are harmless to humans, then why does he have to look for safe ones to dive with?
2. I hope this guy gets breached on and shuts up.

What is interesting about this to me is that this fellow has identified a set of docile actions which through experience in the water interacting with this set of non-threatening actions allows him to phenotype specific sharks. If, not the amount of time in the water around Great Whites would most likely have resulted in his death.

this is the same old crap shark dive. what i mean if you noticed that chum was applied to attract the shark that tells you .that sharks.arent realy that much of a problem .sure some are curious.but normaleynot that much of a bother. the problem that comes into play is that chum cousesa highten sense of excitement from the smell of blood and that takes them out a natural state to kill mode they smell death in blood. go for a real dive with sharks no chum it is great. and the old punch in th nose still works .good diving.

my perception of sharks have been swayed a little bit but the fact is they still bite...curiosity, attacking...call it what you want...THEY BITE!

Is there a reason divers only wear black diving suit? If it was white would a diver still look like a seal?
