Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back In The Water

Swim At Your Own Risk is "your daily dose of all things sharky" and other aquatic-creature-related news and pictures. [Note: some pics not safe for the squeamish]
To counter all the hype and misinformation about sharks killing people, and to highlight the plight that sharks as a species are currently suffering, I can do nothing better than to suggest you watch Sharkwater, an excellent documentary (minus the narrator's annoying Keanu Reaves voice) which apparently hasn't made it to the USA yet.

I decided quite some time ago that swimming in the ocean 'soup' of critters that bite, pinch & sting with variously unhappy results, the soup that mixes itself with killer currents and tides, is not really my gig.

The sea tiger clearly needs to battle a shark and a zombie.

Saw JAWS again recently. Great movie. A little dated due to fashions and things, but not too terribly bad. Of course, sharks aren't the only thing to remember come beach season, between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

yes, possibly the best use of the title I've seen in a looong time.

I was fascinated by sharks when I was young. Still am to an extent. Great link!

I remember one surfer or kayaker's account of his shark attack which read,
"I was having trouble seeing out of one eye. Then I realized, my head is in the shark's mouth."
