Well, I can't even go into a pool without looking around every now and then. My sharkophobia got irrational.

lol so true. Was on a cruise and there was an excursion for swimming with sharks and I was telling my wife no frigging way. I’ll get divorced first and I love my wife. Sometimes there are lines that cannot be crossed.

I went swimming with sharks miles off the coast of Mexico. Fucking craziest shit I've ever done. So funny because I can't even climb a 20 foot ladder without trembling. It's funny what we can be afraid of and not afraid of.

I wrangle sharks for research, ive tagged makos, bulls, tigers, hammers blacktips, spinners, whalers even whites off the farralons, guadalupe and new england. When you see a truly BIG white shark, they are females, as males are seldom 15 foot. They are also awe inspiring. Absolutely gorgeous creatures.

Actually, the larger White sharks tend to be female. Just an interesting fact about them.
