If I've luck to go again in Fiji I sure choose to dive with you!<BR/>You have to know that I respect and admire your work. Your vids are much more impressive than mine and some interactions with hungry tigers are amazing (frightening?).

During five days at tiger beach I never feel in danger at anytime, the tiger sharks were cautious and shy. It's time to forgot Jaws! Sharks are not human killing machine! <BR/><BR/>For the vid you probably know that sharks are attracted by the vibs of the camera.
