A & B Challenge Feb No. 1 - Sharks
When I was a kid I was fascinated with Sharks. It wasn’t from watching “Jaws” or from anything Hollywood ever put out. It was a National Geographic magazine that sparked my interest, and once it was sparker, I spent every minute I could studying and reading up on them. I knew everything I could about them. The more I read and learned about them, then the more I began to be in a bewildered awe over their abilities.
These animals are basically some of the strongest, most powerful monsters of the ocean. Beautiful and graceful… they will rip almost anything to shreds without breaking a sweat. They can sense fear and smell blood from far, far away. If I had to get my Scuba Diving certification in the ocean, it might have been a different story for there is nothing like looking through murky waters and suddenly there is a creature within 18 inches of your face. Catfish are one thing- sharks are another.
This spring I hope to be able to face my fear and dive with these animals. There are potentials for White, Tiger, and even Hammer head sharks. I figure what better way to really conquer the fear than head first… literally. I look forward to swimming with these wonderful animals that I have the upmost respect for, and banishing that fear of mine. I don’t think I’ll do a dive at night, but even a daytime dive would do well enough!
