Re: Used to swim with great whites myself . . .
The mouth of the Chagres River in the Republic of Panama is actually a spawning ground for the great white shark. I didn't mind when I was out there treading water and they cruised by, just so long as they kept going. Rumor has it that the great white will not eat during spawning. So far, I'm still alive.
Life is a gamble. Some people just fail to see it that way, such as the extremists who insist on teasing sharks in a frenzy, running with the bulls, falling asleep in the Appellations with a ham sandwich in you hand, just being Jacky Chan...
Danger is the spice of life, but you have to know where to draw the line -- and then not reach across it!
