Sweet!!! I live in NC, and my "before I die" dream is to go swimming with sharks, or go down in a shark cage. Anybody know of an ecologically responsible way I can do this? Seems like (wo)man+nature just generally doesn't mix - I don't want to turn sharks into the aquatic equivalent of the nosy bears at Yellowstone - but....damn I want to go swim with sharks!!!! I've just heard that the whole "eco-tourist" movement is turning some sharks into pests - following boats looking for handouts, etc., and the more frequently they come into contact with people, the more likely it is that something bad is going to happen. Sharks test things with their mouths, much like small children, only they happen to have razors for teeth. And it's going to be the shark that gets blamed, not the people who trained it to hang around looking for tasty handouts. So, how can I go in a shark cage and meet a shark in the water without contributing to this problem?
