A number of the people here in Northern California have been VERY concerned about GREAT Whites, AKA "The Land Lord" while riding Gavins. Apparently, someone is scootering outside a cage with the GWs and hasn't seen much response.. OK, maybe that is like a guy on a Buddy "breather" saying "see I'm still alive". I must admit, that I have from time to time caught myself thinking of the beast. Anyway, as much as you can trust antidotal evidence and/or the Discovery Channel; I found the message from my friend strangely comforting. Jt SNIP>>>>> The Discovery Channel had a new special on Great Whites and a researcher who has been swimming outside the cage with them for years. The really good news for all of you Gavin owners is that he actually scooters with them and they don't go bezerk. They didn't even pay him any attention. He stopped once and used the scooter to push off one, but the sharks did not appear attracted to the electrical field or noise of the scooter. <<<Snip More from Sully>>>> The program was "White Sharks: Outside the cage" it highlighted research biologist Mark Marks in South Africa. Although at the end of the program he was moving to Guadalupe Island, Mexico. It was on the Discovery Channel - Canada. It looks like I am going to be in the Yucatan for most of the summer diving. I am trying to work out the details now. It should be pretty sweet. Sully --- > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
