Hi All all just had a go at posting a pic but it came out rather large. This pic was of a shark at a dept of 35 metres as you can see on my face quite a bit of water pressure.

This one is a tiger shark and the pic was taken by Roland of African Dive Aventure. Tiger sharks have a bad reputation but as you can see unfounded. This was my very first dive with sharks and this one came within 1 metre to say hello. A really beautiful animal.

If the pic doesn't come through I will try again.

I am not a brave person it was just a matter of getting rid of the brain washing that sharks are dangerous. Yes now and again some one gets attack but mainly by accident or not following simple rules. It really was a priviledge to dive with these wonderful animals.
I started diving at the age of 66 and it really brought llife into my retirement. Under water its the nearest to you can get to flying like a bird and a really wonderful experience.

After saying how safe it is to swim with sharks a Oceanic White Tipped as to kill some one. But take note scuba diving allowed, swimming banned red sea Sharm.

I believe you Hugh  :o

It has certainly proved to be a (h)armless sport  ::)

If you want to see somebody run across water faster than Linford Christie ...watch me  ;D
