Hmm.... I was just reading up on the shark (great white too) attacks RIGHT near that rock I was standing on and scored the lobster.
There must be some high tide there. I can't imagine a great white getting to that point when the water was the way it was when we were in it.

^ I'd agree however.......exceptions occur I am sure. I'd hate to be called and "exception and a statistic". hah!

Now I'm really wanting to purchase scuba gear, however snorkeling would be fine for a while, that was still really fun.

Scuba.com
Leisurepro.com
scubatoys.com

Three of my fav. websites for awesome deals on dive gear and snorkel gear. You guys should be able to find a good priced suit on here. I'm going to buy a 3mm myself. During the colder parts of the year I'll just wear a hood and that should make the difference.

^ Won't do much for a great white (only a harpoon gun would) but at least for a white tip reef shark or something you'd have some kinda defense.

Some defense is better than none. If you can get a big knife into the eye of a GWS, I think it'd turn tail and swim away.
