But a cooling treat on the lake didn't seem to be such a priority after temperatures fell by 10 degrees yesterday. XINHUA Link to post Share on other sites

One of the most docile animals on the planet. The only harm that would come from him is if he bumped into you. Put a Bull Whaler in there. That would liven things up a bit.

Jynxx 4 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 When I first started scuba diving, I had a phobia with shatks, grey shark, reef shark whatever ... They took me to Manly aquarium and I paid $30 to go into the circular pool. I wasn't allowed to have fins. Just stayed on the wall and every time a shark passed, I saw their eyes flick towards me... Oh, just when I was about to go in, I noticed a sign that listed shark attacks and that pool was listed amongst them. Also the pool guy had 2 fingers missing. shhiiiiiish Link to post Share on other sites

Those fish are HUGE!! So graceful and man can they swim fast That's on our bucket list TB.. mate deffo get over there, it was fantastic. I knew they were the biggest fish in the ocean and I knew how big they were listed in text books, but until you are 50cms from one you don't understand the giantness of these animals!! My brother almost got sucked into its mouth!! The boat has helicopters out searching for the sharks, when they are sighted the boat moves into place along its predicted trajectory, the people jump in the water and the boat people warn you not to touch t or to get closer than 30cms, especially to its powerful tail. They align you up on either sde of the shark's path......my bro at the last minute decided to change sides, much to the anger of the guide, but the shark moves deceptively fast and has its mouth wide open, he almost got sucked in.......the guide let him have it when we were back on the boat!
