We did a shark dive (with experienced guides, etc.) in the Bahamas some
years back. Let me tell you it was terrifying, all those monsters darting
around at top speed when they released the chum and feed fish. Why one or
more of us didn't get at least hit by accident is a mystery to me.
Perhaps we gave off a smell or electrical sensation that didn't appeal to
the sharks, or maybe they see better than reported. But it was something
I wouldn't repeat on a bet.

Imagine if you will the commercial dock beside the Starkist Tuna Plant in
Pago. The water isn't the clearest to begin with, but while placing the 10th
or so zinc to the hull of a filthy Korean Longliner, the plant decides to
vent it's processing waste into the water beside you. The 2 or 3 sharks you
did notice before no become the 20+ as the water becomes clouded with blood
and fish guts. The Korean crew is yelling gibberish at me and pointing to
the dorsals behind me while loading more zincs to the basket.

Tell you what..... I was frickin' nervous placing the remaining 10 zincs.
