A number of years ago, when "JAWS" first came out, I had the pleasure of seeing it in a quaint little Northeastern USA fishing village called Provincetown, Mass. A day or two after seeing this movie, I was snorkeling around Provincetown Harbor catching crabs. This would entail my swimming along until I spotted a crab on the bottom, then I would dive down and scoop it up with a small net and bring it up to the small inflatable raft that I had with me. I was in about 30 feet of water, swimming along the bottom, when a large shadow passed over me. DumDum, DumDum, DumDum, Dumdum, was the very first thing that entered my mind as I had been on fishing trips and frequently caught large sharks just offshore. I froze and tried to become one with the sandy bottom. As the shadow passed over me, I glanced up, only to see the raft floating over my head. I was about 20 years old then and have dived many times since around sharks without incident. Those times though I made sure I had a bigger boat!
