    Is there not a large hole 8 foot or so in diameter on the tidal flat to the right of shark cove at low tide, that is a tunnel to ocean. it goes down 40 ft or so then goes horizontal for about 80 ft or so until you come to an opening about 12 to 15 ft in diameter on a shear lava rock face. I am a little foggy mentally on the location but believe it was shark cove. My 2nd Ocean dive when taking scuba lessons was there. When our little band of 14 divers got to the large open ocean opening there was a huge hammerhead patrolling immediately in front of the opening. we all got jammed up and stopped maybe 20 to 25 foot from this opening before we turned back and departed the way we had come. IT WAS A HUUUUUGE FREAKIN HAMMERHEAD !!! It was longer than the opening was wide.

    I like Shark’s Cove. In Pohnpei, I was going to Nan Madol with a couple of locals in their 10’ skiff. As we were making our way through the channels to get to open water, I was running my hand in the water of this cove their. The water was warmer than I would bathe in. When I remarked on that, they told me that was the cove the 22’ hammerhead lives in. My hand immediately left the water and I realized the shark was way bigger than our boat. That journey was quite the adventure...

    Conversely, men often die before women... because they want to.

    So I’ve heard...

    All any of these people are doing is tempting fate, rather dumb. If your job or hobby places you in dangers way that is another thing, I rate many of these as facebook or selfie hero's. People that raise cattle or horses milk snakes for antivenin and all the other dangerous jobs usually don't place themselves in unnecessary danger except for money or fame maybe to bolster their business stature.

    People that live a dangerous lifestyle rarely consider it, it's just something they do for a living or have done all their life.

    And have trained for it. Life expectancy for the untrained is, ah, not long.

    I have an unnatural fear of sharks, they just give me the eby-geebies!!! Can’t explain it except that I watched Jaws when I was too young LOL. Now I have spent lots of time on and about rivers chock full of large estuarine crocodiles and I don’t give it more than a passing though !! When last in Africa I was traveling up the Zambezi in a 14foot boat (low to the water) and loving it. Put me in the ocean and tell me there was a 4.5m shark close by and I would have been crapping myself. See the same sized croc (arguably more dangerous to the boat and me) and I was quite happy. The psychie is a strange beast !!!
