I've seen that article. Says the guy in the kayak sat still while the shark approached several times, then followed the shark when it swam off. I have to admit; I'm not certain I could pull that off. Of course maybe there's no alternative to sitting still ... yikes.

Probably a good job it's only vision! If aroma was included it might be too much, it would be if I was in the boat!

Rather be in the one with the container - what's the problem? it fits don't it?
