    Steve Irwin shared her philosophy that nothing was going to hurt him.

    She obviously loves it. No diving with sharks for me.

    Yes, she reminds me of the guy who loved and lived with bears.

    Many of us have dived with sharks, mostly not realizing it! In fact the some of the most dangerous sharks in Australia will be aware of you from quite a distance and will only show themselves out of curiosity. I have dived with Bronze Whaler and Bull (Zambezi) sharks, as well as the harmless Leopard sharks, but if I knew a Tiger or Great White was around, then the dive would be over or not started. The greatest danger is at the surface, or around bait schools.
    On the other hand, this guy deserves real respect and admiration:
