Huh. A shark. I wonder why Ryan posted this on his blog. 

Hey, wait! Who's that in there with the shark? He looks familiar. It looks kinda like Ryan. Could it be? Could he really have dove with sharks? 

Yes, yes it is! That's good ole Ryan down there with that monster. 

Yes, that's right. I've dove with sharks. 

The Shark Dive

Yep, that's right. I dove with sharks. That's why I've been training (among other reasons).

I dove in the large tank of Busan aquarium. There were several sharks in there with us, including three or four really big ones (It's say about 10 or 12 feet long at least). They had just been fed, but Paul, my instructor, said it didn't matter much if they had. They know what their food looks like and we're not it.

I was surprisingly not nervous. What a great experience. How many people can say they've done THAT?

What was really cool was that people were crowded up to the glass watching us the whole time. Some of the kids freaked out if I waved. A friend of mine was nice enough to come along and take some pictures (which you see above and below). I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.

The tank where we dove. 

A turtle tried to come up the stairs from the tank. Its escape attempt was in vain. 

Dan, Darryl and I just before we suited up. 

Me with Paul. He trained me how to scuba dive, and he was the guy heading up this mission. He's a really cool guy. 

Our group after we were all suited up. 

The whole group doing last minute checks.

The three of us. Notice the school of fish at our feet. 

Our whole group.

Here I am underwater.

Dan and I looking for teeth. 

I tooth I found. I ended up finding 11, but I gave all but 1 away. 

Here we are after the dive. I'm still excited, but Darryl looks freaked out. 

I'm all excited before the dive.

Shark!
