Your Biggest Fear?
« on: February 01, 2012, 02:22:23 AM »
I'm on the scuba divers DL here at my work and a guy I work with just mailed me these pics he took.
it was his first dive and was within the first 5 min into the dive..and they come across this  :o

Think I would have instantly sh@t in my wetsuit!

Judging by the fact it says great white under both pics  ;D was he in a cage?If not how did he have the balls to snap a pic, or was it the guide?From what Ive read in most cases they will leave you the fuck alone.

Haha - didn't read that with my shitty monitor resolution at work!

Maybe it was taken from inside a cage where you can stick the camera out slightly so you don't see that bars?

I think anyone scuba diving off South African shores would have a spear\speargun and some kind of shark repellent, I know there are some effective ones nowdays.In recent years there have been alot of people actively seeking them out to swim with.Bull sharks and tiger sharks are the ones you dont want to fuck with.

No cage, That's the scary thing! it was a normal scuba qualifying dive for under water 1. Normally Great whites don't like the warm water of the Indian ocean water off Durban and hang mostly around Cape town. He said the dive group exited off the boat and descended and gathered as a group at the bottom. within 5 minutes of being there this 2 meter shark appeared out of nowhere, he said they all tried to hide against a rock while it cruised around them..Plenty sharks here!

This pic of a mate of mine who went salt water fly fishing of Mozambique (east coast, North of Durban SA) was standing waist deep on a sand bank, busy casting, hooked a kingfish & he was reeling it in when either a Zambezi or tiger shark hit it hard about 2 meters in front of him. he had to swim back to shore with the big fish head in tow, crazy stuff! Imagine being bitten by one of these fuckers.. like a knife through butter!

After checking this out a few times, it looks like a very cleverly edited fake to me.

Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many captains on this island. $10,000 for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

Zombies, LOL


Seriously though, probably getting old...  I'm really not looking forward to that at all.... I like being young(ish)

But seriously, Zombies scare the shit out of me!
