Stolen straight from Darkauroran

My Journal is generally a place of light hearted comedy and fun topics. However, my real life revolves around the protection and conservation of the Environment, and educating people on causes that must be brought to light no matter how gruesome or inconvenient. I do it because I believe that a single person CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

I remember waking up from my "shark-fear" when I was working at Maldives in a resort island. It was... "fun" to watch the reactions from the guests when I informed them about the coconut-thing and the fact that there are dozens of other fishes in the sea that are far more dangerous than sharks. I swear, their eyes almost popped out, being so wide open. ;P

Sharks are beautiful in some ways and yes, your heartbeat speeds up when you see a six feet, four inches big predator gliding in the water, so close to you, but it doesn't mean it will attack you. And yes, there are shark species that I'd like to observe from cages rather than in open water.

And the legend that a drop of blood makes sharks go ballistic? Yeah... That's quite bullshit. I had cuts in my fingers several times while snorkling and saw no feeding frenzy what so ever during the eight months I spent there. I was actually far more scared of this guy. Bring me sharks, morays and everything else but keep that thing away from me! DX
