  2. I just returned from a dive trip where we spent a bit of time in the water feeding and photographing the sharks. It was a great deal of fun. I’ve heard that more people are killed by soda machines every year than by sharks. Same for falling coconuts. Not suggesting you grab a hold of the first shark you see, nor am I suggesting you tip a soda machine because it ate your dollar….

    I have some photos on my blog and will be adding more in the coming days.
