i think you make a good point. alot of the board is freaking over the croc thing. i have passed by but have never stopped and dont want to.

i have been to the blue hole twice. the first time i ever went we were over 100 ft deep when the dive master signaled it was time to surface. my partner tapped me and pointed up, as i looked up there was a swarm of sharks circling above us, brought up by the deck hands chumming the water. honestly it was one of the coolest moments i have had in diving, but those first few seconds.....pretty scary as you start to figure out you have to go through THAT to get to the surface. we settled on the rim of the hole at 30 ft and watched as the sharks circled looking to pick off fish from the boat. there were lemon, grey reef, and bulls among them.

my question is, how is that not atleast as dangerous as the croc feed? i chose to take the trip to the hole, i didnt even know they were going to do that with the sharks, still it was fun and i went back a second time, honestly, looking for the same thrill. i have been in the water several times with sharks, understanding the whole way, i was putting myself in that position. that is a practice that is routinely accepted but for some reason, putting your self in that position with the croc is lunacy. to me the risk is the same. you have to know if you get off that cart, its on you when something goes wrong. claiming ignorance after the fact is not going to hold water.

im not looking to pick a fight, i really would just like to have someone explain the thought process in that.
