Thanks a lot for sharing!! I have asked that question a couple of times and no one could give me an answer.
Handle every stresssful situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it,
Just pee on it and walk away.

Thanks, Stan! Good information that every ocean diver (or some rivers, in the case of the bull shark) should learn.

Pretty sound advice. We've all heard it before but it's good review and has been proven by the "mythbusters". He forgot to add that you get style points for things like giving the shark the finger before you punch it in the nose or biting it back/first. Mmmm. . . Sashimi :cheerleader:

Bring an expensive camera set up to take shark pictures and you won't see one! Set it up for macro and sharks, whales, schools of rays and giant squid will be all around you!

I just cut a nearby fish, stick a hook in it, hang it around my dive buddy's neck, point at him or her, then make like a coral head. Works every time...
I'm growing older but not up,
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck.
Let those winds of time blow over my head,
I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead.
