Sharks Life

The shark. Perhaps no other sea creature is as well known, or as feared, as the shark. Sharks conjure images of horror in many people's minds. Much has been written of the shark's appetite for human flesh. There are those who will not set foot in the ocean, for fear of being eaten alive by this fearsome creature of myth and folklore. But are these myths true? Are sharks really the bloodthirsty man-killer we have labeled them, or have we created this myth through centuries of exaggerated stories?… Continue

Are Sharks REALLY Dangerous?

Sharks are normally not dangerous instead they are beautiful and awesome animals that do not come up and bite or attack you. Even the Great White, the Bull or the Tiger Shark are not as bad as some people think. The risk of being attacked by a shark is too small to be con

Sharks n' touch

To me, touching or petting a shark or any other marine creature is not an non-respectful way of interacting, in a few words in doesn't mean you are not respecting the animal. Of course animals shouldn't be chased or harmed, punched or anything like that, but touch and chased, harmed or grabbed are definitely not the same words they are very different. I've had experience touching animals in the wild like turtles, rays, small sharks and even the enormous Whale Shark while I was snorkeling with it… Continue

Shark Photography and Filming

One of the first reasons a Diver gets in the water with a shark... is to take pictures of the moment they were with the shark or, even better, to film that moment. Most of the Divers always bring a Camara or Video Camara with them. In every dive I have been in all of my SCUBA friends, well or at least 3/4 of them, are there to photograph or film any animal. Sharks are one of the most awesome animals and because we love them so much, well some of us, we photograph or film them to keep the memory… Continue

I must go down to the sea again ...

I must go down to the sea again, To the lonely sea and sky; And all I ask is a sleek tall ship, And a star to steer her by! Unfortunately, now, in the middle of winter of 2010, the sea is raging, and the slew of storms piled up like a freight train pounding California, from Hawaii and even from further west off the coasts of China and Japan, is unrelenting. We are getting the badly needed rain that has been in such short supply here lately, so this is good. Our reservoirs are slowing filling… Continue

The bill passed without a single negative vote, announced California Ships to Reefs, sponsor of the bill. It is now in the State Senate, where it will be assigned to a committee for hearing.
