Just imagine not noticing that two divers had not returned to the boat, and then steaming back to port ? How hard can it be to count to maybe 20 ?

After watching the movie; Open Water recently I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing cool about sharks, they are the predators of their enviroment and we best for our own good be very wary of these creatures, just like we are of land based carnivores. The next programme I watched, was people assing around with sharks and part of me was thinking, why tease these creatures, why wind them up, just what has the person got to prove in front of a camera, sharks are understandable, they are not as bad as people think, fuck that, it is better for us to know to keep clear of the bloody things, fear is knowledge.
Still, it happened, for open water is based upon a true story, a simple case of human error that was so devastating. Why people risk their lives doing that I will never know, or is it humans have become so arrogant that the sea is but a playground to them. I have dived, dived to twenty metres, but I was ok with that, for it was simply a case of trudging across a lagoon and tipping of the end of the reef and then down the great wall to find a tossing shark at the bottom of the reef. Sharks need to be treated with respect, for they are killers, the desire for food makes them so.
