These 3 members have said "Thank you." to Thalassamania for this useful post:
"my dive log is bigger than your dive log" is such an eloquent arguement.
I've done a google search on operators who do tiger shark dives in the Bahamas. All of them I have found use a cage except JASA. And yes, people get great pictures on those dives as well. Log that!
Good grief! We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread!
Don't be hatin'!

BTW:
Since I have been volunteer diving with the SRI, I have learned and experienced quite a bit with many species of sharks. I am still working my way up to the bigger predators. I will be radio tagging scalloped hammerheads and SAT tagging pregnant whale sharks in the Isla of Socorro in December. This is also a haven for over 30 species of shark that I will be in contact with and observing. So maybe its not the number, but the quality of dives and the experiences. Thanks for the conversations y'all...it's been quite enlivening!

Mission accomplished, derailing the thread!!! One question for 2 Tours, would you rather go into combat with someone who has been in country on the ground or someone who just got out of Bragg with their EIB!!!
... This thread is closed for repairs... It may be a total loss... Contact your insurance carrier.
