Supposedly there have been bull sharks sighted in the Mississippi river as far north as St Louis.
I spent a lot of time on the river south of memphis but the scariest thing I ever saw were big assed gar. |

Cant wait for Shark Week and hear every show tell me White Sharks are so rare and endangered. They always say there are only like 600 White Sharks in the world.

"Tourist area" huh? I saw a show where people were getting bit by sharks and there was a weird pattern.
People were having their ass cheeks bitten off. No shit. Turns out a dive operation was feeding sharks to entertain the tourist divers and they would pull fish from a bag at their waist (hanging down by their butts) to feed the sharks. Pretty smart if you ask me that the sharks learned to associate the human derriere with tasty treats! |

I'll always regret not diving in Monterey while I was there. But the combo of no drysuit and mildly regular problems with great whites while I was there I passed. I'd feel more comfortable diving great barrier cause at least there's visibility and less surprises. Was there 97'-98' and yes, somebody did get hit by a white shark just a few miles from where we snorkeled during that time. |

I thought The Great Barrier Reef was synonymous with shark attacks?
Isn't it know to have the largest number of Great White sharks as well as the biggest sharks of any ocean on the planet? Who the fuck goes swimming in a notoriously shark infest ocean? |

While snorkeling, scuba diving, and spearfishing in The Bahamas the sharks didn’t really scare me, but the barracudas that would follow made me nervous as fuck.

I like to boogie board at the coast. seen a few sharks while waiting for a big wave to come in. Witnessed a couple dolphin beating the hell out of a shark about 20 yards away from me. I often wonder if those guys saved my ass that day. Dolphins are quite intelligent. Although they were probably saving their own young, you would have just as likely been next. There are numerous historical examples of dolphins saving humans from various deaths. |

I most certainly voted "I don't enter the ocean". I don't feel like I belong in there - I never have. When we first got married, my wife would "swim out" when we went to the beach, and I'd freak out with worry. It's funny how she now feels the same way.
