I love me some big shark.
Spielberg was 27 when he directed Jaws.
$9,000,000 budget

This episode, The impact of "Jaws" on shark science, was amazing.

That's some funny shit! [laugh]
Awesome footage of the Great White getting caught on the shark cage last night. Hard to see how big those things really are on film.
Never heard about that actual footage piece for Jaws that they got for the movie. Interesting!
Posted up pics from the shark cage we did in Hawaii in TOB. We had a couple dozen sharks circling plus, 3 big Tigers. Awesome!!
Before I die (or perhaps the day I die) i wanna go down in a shark cage amongst the Great Whites.
Just get eaten by one. There was a shark attack victim that was interviewed Monday night who said it was almost a peaceful experience. That was the time when the shark had her in it's mouth and dragging her down into the ocean. She saw the pretty, red bubbles floating up into the light.
I've had some peaceful experiences but that wouldn't be one of them! [laugh] I'd have both of my thumbs jammed into it's eyeballs on the way down. ;)

Sharks really are majestic creatures, especially at the 20 second mark.

Me too. I looked into this when I was in SoCal. Apparently, there's a place in Baja where you can do it. $$$ though.

Definitely worth it!!
The tiger sharks were enough for me. I'd have a heart attack seeing a great white swimming towards the cage!!

Jaws The Indianapolis Speech (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nrvMNf-HEg&feature=youtube_gdata_player#)
my son was was about 22 and working a register at Barnes and Noble in Queens
old codger came up to his register to buy a book, had a baseball cap on...it was for the Indianapolis
My son knew the story and asked the fellow if he was actually on the Indy and was one of the survivors
guy was quite surprised that a kid would know of it and said "yes" in a near whisper .... my son closed his register
and talked with the guy for about a half hour...end of the conversation he looked at my son
and thanked him for listening,
son said he was the one that should be saying thank you to the codger
guy shook his head no and said just by my son knowing what happened to his ship
knowing what they went through, knowing that his story would be remembered...
was thanks enough
[thumbsup]
Shark cage diving should be banned !
Yes it would be awesome to see a great white up close in safety film it and post it up on your facebook page [roll].
But from someone who has seen one face to face in the wild without a cage while surfing
in South Australia I am lucky to be still here.
What this tourist activity is doing has increased the frequency of human attacks expediently .
So you lay a burly trail out of blood, fish oil and chum to attract a shark he/she swims along the trail and oh look here what's at the end of it a human.
It has been well documented in South Africa the increased frequency of attacks post cage diving and there is a push there to ban it.
We have had a lot of attacks recently by huge great whites in Western Australia lately one two days ago actually who luckily survived but when your dealing with a five meter plus animal in a lot of cases there is nothing left to bury.
These animals return to known feeding sources and now there are sharks on the WA coast that are not just biting and releasing when realising that you are not a seal they are eating people , and it usually only takes two bites .
^^^ I think it's more a cause of the booming Seal population.
