great attitude, i would not likely be as upbeat had i been thru that
three shark attacks
you didn't learn to stay out of the water after the first two?! Tell us what happened and where.
The first attack was when i was 14 and me any my family were at Myrtle Beach. I was out in about 5 feet of water and standing on a sand bar and felt "something" like sand paper rip right past my leg and i remember having chill bumps as soon as i felt it and i saw the tail about three feet away from me and it was a Nurse Shark and it bit my Calf, shook me and i was OK. I went and got stitched up and stayed in the Hospital for the rest of our vacation.
The second one was a Bull shark and i always see Bull shark's since i live in Florida and did not think much of them. It was Mid day to 2:00 and people were fishing all around me, (HATES THAT) I was off of Holmes beach and a small 5 five foot bull shark came up and grabbed onto my right thigh and shook the hell out of me and took me down and my buds just started to hit it and it left.
The third one was off of Daytona Beach, Florida and it was either a Bull or Lemon and bit my Ankle while surfing, wiped out and just felt razors that scraped my ankle. Hit my board, Bit me and left me and got stitched up!!
The worst thing is all the bacteria that lives in their mouths and all the shit that they give you and going back and forth to the DR'S to make sure no infection is going to occur.

I dive with them all the time and since i have epilepsy, have to wear a special dive mask, able to talk to my buddies when diving off any reef. I will always go looking for Lobsters, still will dive with sharks, still will dive for fun.

Stuff Happens and i got over it but i have been told that, "I should have a good chance at winning the lottery." I guess i need to play.
