Crocodile Hunter

[MNScuba]

Normally I really love the show Crocodile Hunter, but now that I've been learning more and more about diving, sea life, coral reefs, etc... I am beginning to lose some respect for it. I don't know if anyone watched last night's episode, but it was about sharks (which was cool). The bad thing is how he got out of his boat and stood on the coral reef to don his gear! He also used it to pull himself along the bottom, then furthermore (and he admitted this was wrong) provoked and distressed the sharks.
 
I don't know, maybe I was just in a bad mood last night or something, but I thought that sent a bad message out.

If someone else saw it, maybe you can correct me if I misunderstood some things... I was just pretty surprised because he normally seems to respect nature and living creatures the best he can.

True - and I saw it too...but at least he is better than that extreme contact or whatever group with that Manny dood...harassing endangered fish, etc.

Yeah, that Manny guy is odd. Would be nice to have his breath holding skills though!
