We like to drop anchor just off the target and follow that line down, couple buds just get way to close to the bucking boat. One went like 10 feet in front and tried to drop without much grace, flailing at the surface and drifting quickly toward that bow eye i just knew he was done. I pulled my...

Very few deaths but still the most. I'm worried about changing the behavior of a region's apex predators more than diver safety anyway. On your bull shark experience... December is different than February and I'm skeptical of your certainty in identifying it while in canoeing depths 40 years...

There is no comparison between plastic scuba fins and fiberglass freediving fins, they are world's apart. I have 2 pairs of mako fins, the soft blade and the stiff blade, I take them on snorkel trips when we travel and while the group is flailing at 2 ft I kick down 25' to look under rocks and...

Hey ho better get mako. Fins

The day i switched from those little plastic "fins" to a true mako fiberglass freediving fin was a eye opener, I will never dive those short, inefficient, open ended p.o.s. ever again. These just work, i see more stuff, use less energy and acquire less fatigue than the next guy w 20 inches of...

Are the record deaths from spinner sharks too? I'm sure you are familiar with migrations? Animals moving from place to place, normally with the seasons motivated by food or sex? Waterfowl in your walmart parking lot is totally normal unless its Feb and your in Michigan, then they are out of...

I love seeing sharks, they are so damn cool i follow them around and pet them while they try their best to get away from me. Back diving spots is almost always a waste but tell me there is a hammer and I'm going back down to give her a look. That said polls are tough, I'm happy as hell to see...

Would love to get a look at anything else you find, those studies on the impact of cage diving and surface chumming are relevant too. The only reason i inject the gulf is because I have "fins in the water" experience with sharks on a regular basis, I would be willing to bet money spearfishers...

My vibratons are shot and bleeding fish, sharks around spearing is not uncommon by any strech but the multiple aggresive passes and following people to the boat is getting close to that line. When humans and animals get around that line the animals normally lose. Did you not realize i was...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QTBWYBLb2xg How about jewfish? Is that ok too?

LOADED speargun pointed at himself with a dead fish tied to the butt... but I'm supposed to trust these guys are not damaging the ecosystem... nope.

Lol. You also have a long history of leading the world in shark bites, maybe they are related.:dontknow: Impossible and hell no, but just like lion fish we need to at least try to help, not change the habits of the areas top predators. I notice more sharks where they shouldn't be every year...

You almost seem proud of your shark attack standings? Ever wonder if the booming shark dive business has any impact on shark attacks in the vicinity? You guys sure cant claim low averages over there close to the "feeding sites"... I get your argument and i don't disagree entirely, i just feel...

Obviously we are the most evolved at killing and i didn't say sharks were, I said they were one of the most evolved... Words matter. What animal (besides us because apparently i have to qualify) is better at what they do with the numbers to back it up? Even with all those sharks killed there...

The buoy has been gone for like a year, they have fixed it before (because they break off all the time) but not with any urgency. Right off the Sheridan is the blackthorn, another big boat but on its side and pretty beat down, and a big ass barge that can have some stuff to look at with a...

Wow... Where has this interest been? One of the most evolved predators on the planet and you guys are suggesting they don't "learn"? :confused: Can anyone name a SINGLE animal that doesn't change its behavior when humans introduce easy food? I can prob name 10 off the top of my head that...

Maybe if your going for a record w redundant professional supervision but spearfishing is dynamic and cant be perfectly planned like a record dive. Every single major freedive training organization discourages hyper ventilation, its not just about how much air you can pack in your lungs, co2...

Get out there yal vis is huge and the fish are home, I had 30+ in 50 feet out of clearwater today.

Maybe you would be right if there was only one boat doing this but it more than one guy does this stuff, plus the Bahamian charters and there is enough of it going on to cause alarm. The fact these sharks cover large distances is in fact part of the problem, they have no idea where that state...
