So I'm watching the Travel Channel the other day and happened upon this show (don't know what it's called-tall blond woman hosts the show....she travels all around and gives her TV audience a tour of wherever she's at....
Anyway, she happened to be in Bonaire, which is one of my favorite places to dive. She does some dives off of Klein, then warns her audience to beware because there are sharks lurking around the dives sites there. I literally laughed out loud.....seriously. I've done probably 70-80 dives on Klein alone, and have never seen a shark. I couldn't believe it.....so my question is......do you catch misinformation being given out by the media in regard to diving? Do you think it affects the way the public feels about the sport? How many times have you seen shows on diving, where the divemaster is entertaining his divers by playing with/feeding eels and other marine life? Is anyone else irritated by this?
