I spent the whole morning here at work running through my diving photos from Australia showing everyone the sharks we encountered. Because of Shark Week people think I am a lunatic. Everyone has seen the Survival Stories of Jaws and those type shows. They need to focus on sharks in their own environment, underwater! The average veiwer would love to see beautiful dive sites sprinkled with shark. Everyone I have encountered asks about sharks and they are very excited to hear the stories even though they are not a "survival" story or a tale where I had to use my dive knife to battle the shark one on one.

After watching these survival stories and everyone coming out of the water with half a leg/arm and bone being left stripped of the meat I even cringe thinking "Hell I hope these images don’t cross my mind next time I get in the water." So imagine the effect these images have on non-divers or the less shark educated viewers. No good.

So yea lets all just go diving with BlueGill! :)
