Dennis had started out telling me that he had enough shark dives after 
seeing someone who was attacked by a shark, I told him that I would not 
like to be shark diving unless I was in a shark cage(But I still would 
be very afraid even in those steel cages.  Besides it was a fear of 
sharks that kept me from getting my certification for scuba diving for 
many years I knew that my father had a very very close call with a 
shark in the Atlantic ocean on swim call while he was in the Coast 
Guard.   But especially being from the E.M.S. side of the fence you 
kind of lose the desire for the "Trolling for trauma" which so many 
E.M.T.'s and Paramedics first want the challenge of a trauma call when 
they start so after awhile you lose your desire for the trauma and the 
same goes for shark dives. So when you say anyone wishing to do a shark 
dive has a death wish.  I don't think you understood that we weren't 
wanting to go on them, Dennis has but I'd be afraid without the shark 
cage and still I'd be mighty nervous.  My ex-dive partner and 
ex-husband wanted to swim without a cage with "Great Whites" so I told 
him that he was "Out of his mind". Now that especially would be a death 
wish.  Your job sounds interesting as a commercial diver, does it ever 
get boring or do you get alot of interesting work??? What part of the 
Country do you work in?? I'd be interested in hearing about it.  
 
Thanks for your views on shark diving.
