Went diving this week off the coast of NC. This was on a wreck called the "Spar" at about 90' of water. Tons of Sand Tiger sharks.

They still refer to the mother of the bride as mother in law in a gay marriage?

They're real docile during the day but you still don't want to try to touch them. I did accidently bump into one coming up. Luckily it was a small one and it just swam away.

Haha... they won't take a chunk out of you as long as you leave them alone. They just ignore you. The barracuda's are what you need to look out for. They come right up to you and check you out. Here's one from the same dive.

Looks like good visibility. I hate seeing those F!@#ing things while diving. We have **** visibility in New England which makes it worse.

Yep, they will come take a bite out of you for no reason at all. You really have to watch them. I just give 'em a little swat with the fins and they go away...(to get friends...haha)

There's not much you can do it they want a piece of you. I carry a 9" knife but that's not going to stop them. They really have no interest in you unless you get after them. I don't have any more good photos but here's a couple videos. You may have to "save as" and then play them. Camera is just a crappy Sea Life Reef Master so quality is just so-so.
