For the divers

The only "right conditions" to get outside the cage are (1) no sharks within 100 miles or (2) the cage is on land.
Da fuk is wrong with white people?

 

On or in?
No longer near the ocean so, not so much "in" anymore.
I get what you're saying about locale...not every hole has crocs or zombie bugs.

 

Not really true, contarlly to belief, sharks don't want to eat you. Sharks are cool and a very important part of keeping the ocean healthy, the are the doctors taking out sick fish

 

I've been diving outside the cage with great whites since the late 70's. Started ab diving in Northern California back then, scuba shortly after that, often in visibility that was less than the length of an adult great white. Just because I haven't seen them doesn't mean they aren't nearby.

 

You answered my question, I work and live on boats and am on the water on a daily basis

 

You were an ab diver??

 

I don't want sharks dead (except for bull sharks). I like them. From a distance.

- Why do you do stupid shit?
- I've been doing stupid shit since the 70s, man.
- OK, then. I guess that makes it all right.

 

I have a lot of respect for ab divers, takes hard work and balls. Spent a little time in port Lincoln Australia, and California. Cooking but it's hard to beat fresh lab's

 

Not getting your distinction.
People on cruise ships are "on" the water...not seeing any of them waterskiing 400 miles off the coast of Georgia.

 

I don't work on cruise ships. Dated a phillipina girl when I lived in the south Pacific and told her I cook on boats. "Oh you work on a cruise ship" no a n a yacht."so a small cruise ship?" NO it's not a fucking cruise ship. Last boat I worked on went to the boat show used at 17 million

 

And was only 125 ft

 

What I'm saying is, being "on" the water is not the same as being "in" the water...doesn't matter the size of the boat/ship.

 

Ok. We have established I make money and then don't work till I need to. Then repeat the process. I have had an interesting year and not on the water everyday. Last Sept, finished my Alaska job. Then England, Ireland, India twice, Nepal. Sri Lanka. Cayman Islands. Panama. Bahamas. Now Mexico. A lot in 9 months, fun but can feel myself getting tired/old

 

Ok, your right, wish I could tell you I'll be thinking about this tomorrow diving. Wish you the best.

 

I wish I could get the best...I'd need a chef.

Not arguing, but it seems you're not considering those of us that don't have access to a boat/yacht/ship when talking about being "in" the water. It's all good...and, yes, some is better.
Have fun, bring home dinner!

Speaking of dinner, what's your favorite fish for the dish?

 

He probably lasted long enough to make the next generation of crocodile swimmers though. I don’t suppose there’s a link?

 

Not one I'm gonna post here.

 

Something fresh. Small dice onion. Garlic. Diced fresh tomato. Saute the onion in olive oil not Browning, add garlic, for 1 minute, deglaze with white wine, add homemade chicken stock, reduce by 1/2 add your diced tomatoes, season with s and p. Squeeze 1/2 a lemon in. Add cold butter and chiffanade basil. The sauce is done

 

I have no hesitation to dive with sharks. Tigers, Bull, Whitetips you name it. Been there done that and have the video.

Crocs at night in murky water is crazy!

 

I gotta ask - what was the plan if you encountered one?
