x1yyz Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Not exactly a picture of me but I'm there in the beginning. This is our annual Swim with the sharks day. :) Yay, sharks! Is it pupping season for them? I've heard the leopard sharks congregate near LJ when they pup.Yep. They show up when the water is at its warmest. Late July and August. The water is really nice right now. Our water up here is crazy-warm. Usually it's about 52º and lately it's been 65º. I've never heard of it being this warm before. Don't you worry about other sharks that are more of a threat? I'm a diver and I go out of my way to dive with sharks. For the most part they are really nothing to worry about. And it's true that they are more afraid of you than you are of them. They certainly are in more danger from people than people are from them :( 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns out that 90% of documents attacks since the 1500s were made at the water's surface or shoreline, as opposed to underwater. Out of the hundreds of sharks I've seen over many hundreds of dives, I have never felt in danger from one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Aaaaaaaand I'd guess they're happiest when finding a slow moving meal, meaty and tasty. Say, like a diver? :D Actually people usually survive an attack by the shark species known to engage in that sort of behavior. Mainly because there just isn't enough fat on a human to be satisfying. Yes, that includes us 'mericans. They bite and release or taste and release. :P The only ones around Southern California to be concerned with are Great Whites and the occasional Blues. You need to be in fairly deep water on average 30+ feet to worry about it though. Great Whites like to swim beneath their prey and rush up to deliver a death blow so they don't have to fight with their dinner. They prefer nice plump seals and sea lions. As long as their prey isn't in the water with me I feel pretty safe. Also, I worked at Sea World for 10 years and never saw anything in a sharks behavior that would indicate it had emotions.

I've done cage diving with white sharks, and a couple of those dives were done in a deep cage, about 30' down. I was sitting on top of that cage (no bars around me), and the sharks completely ignored me. I've seen many tigers in various parts of the world and one tiger in particular, Emma, in the Bahamas, is used to people and I was able to pet her. Here's a pic of me photographing Emma: http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o371/x1yyz/tigerbeach_2010-1191_zps146b1dd6.jpg 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't actually a competition but they host one every Homecoming and it was my senior year so we did play very well. Even if it was 4-5 shitty pop punk songs. In defiance of such a horrible and whiny genre, I wore one of my Rush T-shirts to at least show SOME musical legitimacy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when schools refer to these things as "battles" and then omit the competition element. They might as well call it The Peaceful Congregation of the Bands rather than The Battle of the Bands. Maybe they considered it a foregone conclusion that the group with a guy wearing a Rush shirt would win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
