I was watching some YouTube top 5 video about close calls with sharks and it got me thinking!This topic took a turn from where I thought it was going, cool question!
Damn that's brutal. Bullsharks are mean fuckers.Look up Paul De Gelder, he was a Rifleman and Sniper in my Regiment prior to going over to the RAN and becoming a Clearance Diver. Paul lost an arm below the elbow and a leg above the knee to a Bull Shark.
Yea fuck that. I would be constantly thinking about that shit.I have run into sharks on dives. I was most afraid of salt water crocodiles when I was diving in Papua New Guinea.
The only sea creature I've had a bad encounter with was a Portuguese Man O War that wrapped its tentacles around my leg and it felt like 10,000 volts and left bright red, painful whip-like welts. This was off Edisto Beach in the 80s and we were surfing. When it first happened I thought a shark had bit me.
Benedryl, painkillers at the ER...and copious beers.
That guy is a stud. I saw his gorgeous partner first from across the street, then fark, it's him. In shorts & wifebeater he's pretty impressive with all his ironmongery on display.He's done well to get through it. I think he was attacked in 2009, I flew on a plane with him last year or late the year before and he was looking mega fit.
Damn did anything ever happened?Obviously an unverified dirty civilian with no experience, but on “Cleared Hot” Podcast #88, Andy Stumpf talks about how many times he’s been out on a dive and knowing with absolute certainty his partner is on the right side, and being slammed by something on the left.
