I've noticed that there have been a lot of shark attacks lately. It seems like there wont be one for a long time, than there will be 8 in three months. Is there a certain time of year that sharks get aggressive? Maybe a time when they have to compete with humans for resources? It just seems like there are a lot of shark attacks this time of year. Let me know what you think.

As ' one ' that communicates with sharks, I have been told ( by the sharks ) that sharks have decided to take revenge on man ( & woman ) for the destruction perpetrated against their species.

I have found one sure-fire way to escape a shark attack, but it relies on very good buddy skills.  As with any dive you have to be within touching distance of your buddy.  If a shark comes to attack, very quickly pull out your knife.  The stab your buddy in the leg and swim away.

Ha!  Darrick, Keep that in mind next time we are diving together.
