Oh yeah I did that once, too here in NC.

I also went swimming SURROUNDED by sharks a few years ago, no protection. I mean, they were all babies less than 1 foot long, but there were a strangely large number of them. And had more teeth than grandpa shark.

Awww, it thought Gordon was its bitch.
4) Love hurts: The courtship behavior of the zebra shark involves the male biting vigorously on the female's pectoral fins and tail. (He's not always successful.)

This is actually correct, and it was the behavior about which I was warned. ;)

Just didn't want to give you pricks more ammunition.

It shows he dove with maneaters, not manfuckers.

It shows he fed himself to maneaters. Whether or not he was diving is speculation. Meaning.... if you can't talk about it after, it isn't a flex. You just got ate.

Prove he's not talking in the afterlife or that he didn't take over the shark's soul by allowing it to eat him.

Weekly email went out, listing the current open slots for the week.

This was at the bottom:
*Until we resolve the Zebra shark problem we will not be feeding on feed dives but will be presenting. We may also start adding a "safety diver" in the water with the "presenter" to try to denture the Zebra shark from getting so close.*
I'm signed up for the 19th. Hoping they let me be the shark wrangler.

Dove yesterday. Had to fend off zebra shark sexual advances, but didn't get nipped.

Diving in the sea turtle tank Thursday, I'm very excited about that.

Don't molest the sea turtles like you did the shark!

Also a large stingray in that tank, and bonnethead sharks!

They warned me about the ray. Still stingered.
