That'a a Sand Tiger shark , also known in some circles as a ragged tooth shark. I met three of them on a dive about 30 miles off the N.C. coast. Their home was a tanker that was torpedoed in WW2. One of them took me on a tour of his boat. About halfway down the length of the ship , there was a big hole rusted in the side. He took me inside and introduced me to his family (about 12 more sharks.)
Nitrogen narcosis at a depth of 130 feet can be pretty impressive. I do however have some video tape of the encounter so I know it wasn't all just my imagination.:thumbsup:

I did a LOT of research before doing this dive. We are not (for the most part) on their menu. If we were , the twelve sharks inside that tanker could have turned me into a SCUBA stew in very short order. The one that I followed into the tanker came up from behind me just over my shoulder less than five feet away from me. If they wanted to eat me , they would have had no problem doing so.

Have another misunderstood marine creature (well, two if you count the cute little golden I switched up my avatar to today before I noticed this thread was going underwater...)
