Maybe the Mayans were right. "Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria."
This must be how it seems to THEM, when we jump off a boat and drop into their world...

So Greg Norman was on the golf course? Greg Norman is nicknamed "The Shark" and he is a professional golfer.

This one. Any time. I love diving with sharks. They are awe inspiring.

I had a Taiji student many years ago who told me the same thing…. and I didn’t believe him either :uhyeah: and the were not falling from the sky
He also told me about Barracuda..those he did not seem to be in so much awe of as fear of
I wish I had thought of that!

Why would he be afraid of barracuda? They're not the least bit dangerous to humans (barring, as always, the human being terminally stupid).
When we dive off Cancun, it's not at all uncommon to have schools of 20-30 barracuda follow us along the reef. Why? Because they're looking for a free lunch. Sometimes divers will inadvertantly scare fish away from the reef, where they become easy prey. And, too, we shoot the damned invasive lionfish (which are not native to the carribean) and leave them for the predators. I've had sharks, barracuda, and grouper come up and grab lionfish off my spear.
As for being scared...

Did either the shark or us seem scared there? :rofl:
One of my favorite dive memories, being kissed by a shark.

Yeah sure... tell me how cool it was the next time you swim with a megalodon
He had taken his 4 year old daughter skin diving and she was floating looking at the fish when he realized she had floated right over a large number of Barracuda, he got her out very calmly and easily but it scared him.
Cool video.... nope I'm still not swimming in the ocean.

I'll have to invent a time machine first...
Still not sure why he'd be scared of them. They eat little fish. Even a 4 year old is WAY too big to be of interest to a barracuda.
But...but...but....did they find a 6 foot shark in the woods during SHARK WEEK?

Shark Week... BAH. What a piece of ignorant crap.
And thanks to crap like this, and finning, many sharks are becoming increasingly endangered. Sharks are the Lions of the ocean. They're amazing creatures.
