In Reply to: Shark Diving @ County Line! posted by Echoingtom on September 15, 2011 at 12:14:00:

Dude, you need to take up knitting or oil painting. Have done MANY dives @ county line over 35 yrs. and seen my share of sharks, albeit infrequently. Have swum/swam over untold numbers of nearshore sharks with a stringer of fish on occasion with no probs. Biggest danger was a well-meaning, but not-too-adept commercial guy in a vessel who saw me way out there and turned right toward me without slowing down. After waving him off, all I heard was "... you faggot, fuck you...blah, blah...". Go figure. Oh, and there was this very aggressive, horny harbor seal who eventually ended up biting me in the ass-end of my wetsuit...Another day, another time. Point is: "Don't worry about sharks. They are your friends.
