sharks and spearguns

Gday all, not long back home after 8 great days in Exmouth, love the place. First time with the boat there, a boaters paradise, also it seems a shark paradise as is here in Ktha. Had a very interesting chat to a fella from the DEC, said some studdies they have done there have been showing sharks are getting a bit rough with the divers. He said they have been firing spearguns without spears and timing how long it takes for the men in grey suits to arrive, they are tuned in to the sound or vibration and get a bit excited. I however firmly believe that sharks are attracted to the sound of a df150 on the back of a certain Coraline i know, talk about fish for the future, I fed the buggers for 8 days!..cheers.

yea sorry guys, ive never fired a speargun in my life or even held one so not shure how they do it, was a very interesting chat, he bought over a couple of bottles of wine for us after we towed him back in from the gulf after a breakdown. He also said they had studdied the same in Qld and found the same results. Another reason for me not to dive!
