new version of shark attack comments
I was exaggerating a little bit with my shark attack comments. There are always the possibility of sharks, but lots of people have dove and continue to dive in safety. Actually Daniel hunts with a very powerful spear gun, and trust me he does not want to see a shark as much as anyone else. Trust me if he thought there was any real danger we would not be out there. We didn’t end up diving anyway, and I don’t dive I just stay in the kayak. I may try to dive at some point but it would be something I would work up to and would not do if I thought there was danger. Supposedly sharks do not attack humans unless they mistake them for a seal, which is what they really feed on. The visibility in the water varies day to day and so on some days it is better, and those are the days that Daniel prefers to dive anyway. I have never been afraid of sharks when I have gone out before and have also never seen one yet. I am mostly just afraid of the waves to be honest, I hate them breaking on me when we are going out and once I was thrown out of the kayak so that scared me. Daniel is fearless, but not a thrill seeker, and he is also very cautious. Sorry to scare you with my dramatized version of this.
