Michael Rutzen - Swimming with Sharks

I see this as a demonstration of luvv, a desire for understanding, a showcase of tremendous courage, and the kind of "ALL IN" adventure following that changes the world.  Pure greatness!

From the Man himself (Michael Rutzen) on http://www.sharkmans-world.com/mrutzen.htm:  "I believe that White sharks are more individual then humans. If you say the word White Shark it is like saying the Human race. If you want to say the Human race is like this, then you can say that the White Shark is like this. White Sharks are very individual animals and every one of them have their own way and every day they have their way. You cannot get the same shark today and that shark will be the same tomorrow. Everyday it has different effects. You have seen our waters, our currents, our conditions, everything changes, and the White Sharks are adapting to it all the time. The same animal and he uses everything in nature to his advantage and changes how to do things according to the conditions. You do not get the same shark twice in a row doing the same things. They change. They are very individual and there is no normal. This is what I think".

Appreciation to Leslie Carver for bringing the Sharkman to my attention and to Michael Rutzen himself for inspiring me with his work!  If anyone out there makes to it South Africa before me, book a Journey and tell me about it: http://www.sharkdivingunlimited.com/
