The Shark Files
To most people the word shark conjures up images of a deadly assassin awaiting their next outing to the sea. Fishermen also go weak at the knees at the thought of falling overboard into shark infested waters. As a spearfisherman you have to come to terms with sharks as you will encounter them from time to time in your diving career. They are certainly not the deadly foe that many people perceive them to be. Most attacks on humans are probably a case of mistaken identity.It is always interesting to hear of another divers experiences with sharks and hopefully it will conform to what you expect a shark to do. safe diving.
