Hey, interesting you posted this Mike, last Saturday Robert and I, did a few dives, First dive was great, good vis, nice temps (for February), second dive we rolled over at same site and bada bing, big old bull shark right on us, and despite a hundred plus shark encounter over years, this one actually worried me, this guy would not leave. Most times, they come around and then leave. We had to toss our spearguns and fins on boat and get out, but I had let go of tag line for just a moment and was 10 feet behind boat with this shark kept swiming close enough for me to feel swish of tail. It is really hard to swim in current with out fins even 10’. I over came buy moving to another site about 2 miles away and jumped back in. PS I ordered a 357 bang stick, It should be in before I get back from you place next week.
It was actually the first time I was concerned. I have also rescued divers, as well as had equipment failures but this was different.
