Download or read book White Shark Adventures written by George J. Smit and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great White shark that is one of the most feared and completely misunderstood creatures in the ocean became part of my 38 years of free diving and spearfishing on the South African and Mozambique coast. I had several encounters with this creature and not only the White shark but numerous of the other shark species were encountered during this time. Since the White shark fascinated me and although I had some close encounters, I never felt that this shark was a man eater but rather a curious creature wanting to inspect the unknown. A swimming human kicking with the legs will attract a White shark and most swimmers are bitten on the legs. All of this was motivation to start a cage diving operation to introduce the White shark to the many tourists that visit South Africa. This book was written to give people an insight into part of my experiences and also better understand the Great White shark.

Book excerpt: Attention Adrenaline Junkies! Does your heart beat a little faster every time you strap on a scuba tank for a dive? Do you feel the excitement as you anticipate the adventure you'll find while scuba diving deep underwater? I do. Come with me while I tell stories of adventures I've had while scuba diving. You'll be by my side when I find my way out of an underwater tunnel and when I dive for lobster off the Mexican coast. You'll feed large fish under Catalina Island's glass bottom boats and duel with three Moray Eels in a cave. Experience the thrill of successfully performing the deepest, heaviest boat salvage using scuba gear and be there when Marlin Perkins escapes from feeding sharks while filming a Wild Kingdom episode. Join me on a dive for treasure and rescue a wallet from a sinking swordfish boat. Imagine the beauty of swimming through a field of Spotted Garden Eels in Tahiti ... and many more diving adventures available to divers just like you and me. I have lived for adventure and chosen my friends for their AQ, not their IQ. That's Adventure Quotient instead of Intelligence Quotient, which is appropriate when talking about us divers. We may not be smart, but we have a lot of fun and are always up for adventure. I've made over 1,100 dives and the stories in this book are the distillation of the most memorable adventures. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have recalling and writing them. - Bob
