How do you protect yourself

[djanni]

You should look into one of these compressed gas knives. There is a video and info here.. http://www.myspace.com/waspinjection

C-4 plastic explosive is very effective as well.

The knife is listed for $599.95 at www.waspknife.com. Based on what they say the knife on the web site it must be worth every penny.

Wait...there are CATTLE underwater? I must not have been looking as close as I thought. (Either that, or I really need to have the prescription of my mask checked.)

Well there are cattle boats???

But I take a buddy along as protection against "feeling vulnerable." That gives me a 50/50 chance the shark will eat him, instead...:11:

Hadn't thought of that but good idea

I don't see the need for cutting items like knives, and don't have one, but the normal reasons i hear are cutting yourself free and getting rid of old fishing nets tangled on something.

I also cannot think what a knife would do to a shark other than make it more angry and likely to attack you :shakehead

A knife, if a shark comes sniffing for food I'll cut my buddy and swim like hell. Wanna go diving with me?

I see that Don. Thanks for the link. $600 ????? Did you see the illustration of the diver fighting the shark? Unbelievable....

That's my thought too, especially if you can get his Achilles Tendon. Like they say in case of shark attack all you have to do is swim faster than your buddy.

Who in their right mind would take on a shark with that wasp knife. The only way it might work is if it goes off in his belly after he takes your arm off.

LOL on the cattle boats!

Hey, that might be one true application. There have been times I wanted a prod in hand when one of those things anchored nearby! (I'll teach em' to silt up the bottom or drag gear over the reef!)

What if there are 2 sharks?

Look, obviously you anti-knife people have never seen Seahunt. You desperately need a large knife underwater to deal with all of those pesky hosecutters. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!!

Run with the bulls!
