:: Diving With The Sharks @ AQWA

So while we were in South Africa I lost count of the number of indemnity forms that we had to sign… there was the camping one that said if we get eaten or injured by a wild animal the company isn’t responsible… there was the lion encounter one that said if a lion chewed my butt off it’s my own fault… oh, and the micro light one that says if I fall out of the sky and plummet to my death they aren’t responsible for scraping me off the pavement with a spatula. The common element here… if anything bad happens… they aren’t responsible…

Seeing that I’ve signed so many indemnity forms it’s become a reflex to just sign anything that has been put in front of me without actually reading what was on the form. It wasn’t until AFTER the lady took the form away, it set in that I had signed a form that would put me in a giant tank full of sharks during feeding time…! This is my belated birthday present from Tash… and a very spontaneous one at that! We were at AQWA to do the food taste testing trial for our wedding and while we were waiting in the lobby we met a guy that was doing the shark dive. After a quick flurry of questions before I knew it Tash was at the counter and I was signed up to do the Shark Dive!

Scuba Diving With Sharks

I’m quite excited to be able to do this because I love scuba diving and hardly get a chance to do it… but at the same time… it’s going to be in a tank full of sharks! I’ve done lion walks, had close encounters with wild bull elephants… but for some reason sharks scare the bejebus out of me! hehe

Awesome pressie Tash… I’m sure I’ll be peeing in my wetsuit once I dive in… Oh and for anyone that wants to come along to watch… my dive is at 1pm on 5th November 2006…Â
