There are several shops in the area and I was wondering if anyone on this board has had any experience with them? (I'm looking to get my OW cert and eventually AOW.) I'm not really interested in any crash courses or shops that seem to emphasize "quick and easy" certification. I would like...

(Hope this is the right place for this.) There are several shops in the area and I was wondering if anyone on this board has had any experience with them? (I'm looking to get my OW cert and eventually AOW.) I'm not really interested in any crash courses or shops that seem to emphasize...

Quote from Fabien Cousteau's web site: "As a member of an elite team off the coast of South Africa, Fabien took part in a cage-less diving expedition with Great White sharks. During the behavior research, he was surprised to observe how docile, even skittish, these notorious fishes really...

:11: While I've been swimming since I was three and am very comfortable in the water, I REALLY don't like the thought of diving in (or into) dark waters, especially night diving. The thought of diving with sharks doesn't bother me (I'm actually wanting to eventually become a shark/marine...

You are a very good writer, Shipwrekd, and I've really enjoyed your posts the last few days that I have been visiting these boards. It must be quite a thrill to dive with such a motley crew of fish, especially 10+ foot tigers! Shark diving is one of the main reasons that I'm getting my certs...

You must have one of the most interesting jobs on the planet if it involves photographing white sharks! I'll be sure to set my VCR when your show airs and hopefully share a post or two about your techniques, locations, gear, etc. Thanks for the heads-up.

When Sharks get excited, the last place you want to be, is on the surface. The best place for you to be is anywhere below them. Most attacks, thumps, etc.. come from parallel or upward positioning. Downward strikes rarely happen... Interesting that you brought that up. I was watching a white...

Just wanted to say hello. I start my certification classes this spring and found this site while Googling for dive forums. Looking forward to learning more about diving and diving-related subjects, in particular the shark forum. I've been a sharknut since a kid (begun by seeing JAWS of...
