I recently read an article about exotic animal vacations - one vacation you can go on is a shark cruise. They take you out in a boat, lower you into the water in a cage, and you can see all of the Great White Sharks you want. It was the 5/15/04 issue of American Way Magazine on American Airlines.

I'm with you all - no thanks to swimming/surfing with sharks.

Sharks are so beautiful! they really dont pose as much threat as one would imagine. Sure, they are dangerous, but so are a lot of animals. I have been in the surf with them many times, in fact, the beach on my street has a breeding ground just 100 metres of the breakers. You can glide over on your board and look down and see them all swimming about. Ive never heard of any shark attacks on our beach though.

Dolphin sightings for me though are a bit boring, unless your right next to them all you really see is a fin every now and then jump up and then back down again. Still, cute little mammals though!

I can help you there. I've got it myself.

It's from MSNBC's Image of The Week, from before they switch over to a mean old Flash interface that won't let you save 'em to your hard drive.

Easy as 1,2,3.
1-Press alt/printscreen.
2-Open a new file in Photoshop then click on paste.
3- Edit the picture.

I second, third...tenth that. Ain't no way I'm getting near those things.

I would love to swim with the dolphins. Guess that would fall under things I haven't done yet (or whatever that thread was called... )

You should watch the film "Le Grand Bleu" ("The big blue"???) by Luc Besson with Jean Reno and Jean-Marc Barr. Swimming with dolphins...
