This man was swimming in an area called Shark Bay, although there must be 1000's of places off the coast of Oz that could lay claim to that name.

Despite being very nearly eaten by this Tiger shark, he has said that we would willingly go back the same place again !

Eeek! You missed your favourite word.

Sharks are misunderstood.

//sharks are misunderstood //

It might be a bit hard to misinterpret the intention of one ; when your'e halfway inside it's gob

[ummmm]

How can he be 'nearly eaten by this tiger shark' when the shark just appeared curious?

[mikey4444]

Wolfie....that Tiger shark was just lonely and wanted his nose scratched !

[bednobs]

he wasn't nearly eaten. Not even nibbled.

"It was extremely close and curious and kept approaching me from different angles. It was trying to work out what I was and whether I could be on the menu," he told the BBC."

"It was terrifying. I thought I was just going to be eaten out here in the middle of nowhere... this shark is just not leaving me alone."

Sharks don't attack humans unless provoked!
Jaws have given sharks a bad name and make the gullible think that sharks are man eaters!!

Well Islay - If i had to choose between being in close proximity to one ( of these man eaters - oh sorry , pussy cats) or not being in close proximity to one ; i think i would err on the side of caution .

Unlike you i'm not a brave soul , me :-)
