| Maybe he's confident he can outrun the shark. Or maybe he's got an AK47 with him? |

| Snopes has this picture listed as legit. The guy in the kayak said the shark came by, bumped the kayak and swam off. :eek2: |

| there is nothing freakier to me that being in the water with a shark. years ago I was visiting relatives in St. Pete FL. and out on Mullet Key I was swiming in an inlet and a shark swam right by me - inches - I about peed a little :eek2: Then, living on Maui I swam over a reef that was littered with em just below me.....AAAAAAGH!! |

White sharks? Aren't most shark species not man eaters? That's what discovery channel says, heh. Either way, I do not want to test that theory. |

That's cool that it's real.
One of my favorite memories is diving the Blue Hole at Belize, with about a dozen bull sharks.
Wish I had better pics...

Maui where I lived had a lot of species of shark, least problem one being the great white. Bull, mako, and tiger sharks were much more aggressive.
All that aside though, I found out after the fact one day that the Maui Channel between Maui & Lanai had the worlds largest concetration of great whites...according to the park ranger who showed us the sign on the beach we had overlooked :eek2: Now when we go to Hawaii we always check with the locals - every day - for the beach & surf report :2thumbs: |
