I watched it last night. Opening shot: is a seal bit in half. It’s designed to scare and get ratings. During the whole episode I watched it was about tagging a white shark and following it. and it was followed by an opening of someone that had been bitten. So I went to watch something else. I’ve been fortunate enough to see Sand tiger, bull, hammerhead, silk, reef and nurse. They are awesome animals. Never afraid of any of them a healthy respect for what they could do if provoked. Knowing that just watching is not provocation. Shark Week is a disservice to the shark and the diver. And because non-divers see it on T.V. and believe it must all be true and real, they are afraid and no amount of discussion will change their perception. So when I hear shark on the boat after a dive I am a little p.o.’d if I missed it and have lots to talk about if I didn’t miss it coming to say hello and check out the action.
