The dive operator discovered the bulls after having bulls come up from the depths when they were down there spear fishing. Bulls started showing up regularly once they figured out what the spear guns meant, like what happens in Florida right now in some places. So the operator decided to feed them, really more Shark Diver Magazinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02786389105779767223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36324352.post-52384254979939379262011-01-14T00:40:36.023+13:002011-01-14T00:40:36.023+13:00Dear anonymous

In the last section you talk about shark dives, is there a worry that the death of a diver would lead to more sharks being killed, similar to the sitution seen recently in Egypt?
