Comments: As promised I did return to see what you would do with my last entry. One thing I always do is give credit where credit is due and I do thank you for choosing to leave the message there and reply to it. It doesn't mean I agree with you, but I do give you credit for taking on board comments and not simply deleting the message.

In respect to your comments about my entries being idiotic, that is your view and you have a right to express it. I take no offence but I do personally see tattooing as a form of self abuse (along with multiple body piercing) and I consider promotion of such to be irresponsible. In my view tatooing and body piercing is akin to branding cows and horses with a red hot iron, or ear clipping sheep where a piece of live flesh is simply gouged out in order to "Identify them". It really is just abuse of animals. That is my own view, you do not have to agree with me, I do not seek to change any ones opinion, merely state my own. However as stated I do give credit to you for leaving the message there. In respect to your site, yes it is informative, and like I have said before, I respect all creatures, human or animal, they all have a place in this world.

Sharkman's Comment: Welcome back Mr. X. Thanks for your interesting comments. I to do not seek to change your opinion, but I fail to see the connection between tattoos and branding or clipping of animals. As you very well said clippings and branding are just an abuse. Tattooing is a piece of art that a person wants on his body. Most of the time it is in honour of something that they love, as in with the shark tattoos on this site.

Anyway... I wish you and the readers of this site a Very Happy New Year.

Comments: I have been here before about a month ago but never left a message but after much thought I had to come back and do so. It will be interesting to see if you choose to delete it or reply, I will return to see if you have any comment.

My first comment is, you say you are dedicated to sharks. Well the entry graphic on this site is a photo of a set of shark jaws, therefore a shark had to die to have that photo taken. A bit hypocritical in my view.

My second comment is, How dare you compare yourself to one of the greatest conservastionists this world has ever seen. He puts his money where his mouth is buying huge tracts of land in every continent, not for material gain but to save it from being developed and exploited and therefore kept for future generations of animals. If you don't know who I am talking about read your own site. You made the comparison, not me.

My third comment is simple, Promotion of tattooing one's person is totally irresponsible. Tattoos are a disgrace and should never be promoted.

I love all animals, they all have a place in this world and a right to exist, it isn't man's task to destroy but to protect.

Be back in a week or two to see what you have said or if you have deleted this entry. I personally think you think too highly of yourself, your site is full of what you think you have achieved. Many men have achieved greatness but not through promoting themselves but by doing good on behalf of other things being they human or animal.

Sharkman's Comment: Dear Mr. X. First of all, Welcome back. Secondly, I see no reason why I should delete your comments. You are entitled to your opinion.

As to your first comment about the shark jaws.... The Idea is that one is entering "inside a shark" to see what it actually is. It is sadly true that a shark had been killed, (but not by me) but the good thing is that those jaws have now served to introduce and change many peoples opinion about sharks. There is nothing hypocritical about that.

Your second and last comments... Sorry my friend but they are baseless. I do not compare myself to anyone and I surely do not boast about who I am or what "I have achieved". Read my page properly and you will see that I always say that I am "just a diving instructor" and whatever was achieved, was always done with a lot of help from others.

As to your comment about tattoos..... well, that is so idiotic that I will not even bother to answer.

I love all animals too and I do anything I possibly can to protect them. This is why this website was set up.

Happy New Year.

Comments: Great site Sharkman!

Truly great pictures of your trips in 2001 and 2002. What a magnificent creature Big Whitey is. It is such a shame most people only associate them with the gruesome bloody carcasses sometimes hauled onto the shore or the killing machine in Jaws (the movie). In the wild it’s the most magnificent sight in the animal kingdom and one of our last great predators. Hopefully more sites like yours will help people understand the beauty of this king of the depths.

A quote from Sharks: Myth and Reality by Cafierio and Jahoda (1994)

Of the great white, writer Jim Crockett wrote, "A friend of mine claims to have seen God. Well, I've seen the Great White. I guess were about even."

All the best and keep up the good work

Andrew

Comments: Hi, have always had a great interest in sharks especially the Great White. I have only ever seen one and that was at Vic Hislops shark museum in Australia.
I would love to go cage diving and see them for real as there is little chance here in England although we do get the odd report of a sighting.
Keep up the good work.
I'll be visiting again

Sharkman's Comment: Hi Bruce. Thanks for your comments. I hope that you do get to see a "Live" White shark, and not one like in Vic's Road Show. i bet you heard a lot of wrong things about sharks there too. The Guy is a real nutcase!!

Comments: Very good and complete website! I always be fascinated by sharks but I hope never see them during my next divings! Swimming with dolphins is also a very captivating experience and more safety!! I really hope that one day human being will take better care of the earth and off all those magnificents animals we can have the great chance to meet. Take care!!

Sharkman's Comment: Hi Dzof. Thanks for your comments. What's so bad with seeing Sharks while diving? It is the best experience you can have, and thousands of people are doing it everyday. It is only there that one can truly experience the real beauty of a shark. I wish you many great dives, and if you are ever in Malta, we can dive together.

Comments: Great to visit again, was inspired by the tattoo pages and have finally worked to get my own, will email you the result, was a 3 time sit down, have a nice mako on the left upper arm chasing a yellow fin tuna, kind of my idea and answer to all those rose and wire bands people do, this is my second tattoo and seems my artist is amazed at the size I go for, first covered my right calf very well with a stalking alligator(Big Gator Fan here) now he is happy to play a part in my new one and has invited me to the east coast tattoo convention here in Jersey for the final touches. He used an old style, Japanese idea of gray stressed water to show the movement and will finalize in front of many onloookers this Saturday!! Great for me and great for him!! Email due when redness and swelling are gone!! Keep up the great work here and stay safe!

Comments: First I'll congratulate you for your effort of helping the sharks.
It's even difficult to explain the swiss people what sharks really are and how they life. A lot of them have got the picture that a shark is a blood-hungry monster, who kills everyone he's meeting on his way.
But I try it very hard to explain and show the people what sharks really are.
An example:
i wouldn't go surfing at a beach where is written that there are sharks and I also don't know how to react if I would 'meet' a shark.
i find a good idea is to give courses to the visitors of a beach how to act and react on a 'shark-beach'.
But there is again a 'hunger of money' (-; , like everywhere.
Thank you for your effort.

Then I've got a question:
I go every jear in the north of sicily, next to the eolian islands, at Milazzo.
Where are there sharks around this area, I'm very interessed to see a shark in freedom.
Fabrizio, Switzerland

Sharkman's Comment: Hello Fabrizio. Glad to see that you too help to protect sharks. I am sorry but I am not familiar with the sharks around north of sicily.

I spent the past two or three hours just reading stuff on your site. Ever since I was 5, I loved sharks. I think they look cool. I think your journal entries of seeing the great white sharks in South Africa are simply fascinating. I want to go see sharks in South Africa myself very much. Honestly I have never seen such a beautiful side of great white sharks. Thanks for showing this through your website.

you have a wonderful source here and facts about this fantastic creature...i have liked sharks since i was ten years old and saw the first jaws movie... i was on vacation and i did not get into the water after that movie for fourteen days,,,,,then i became interested in sharks, because it had frightened so many with its bad reputations, through that movie. So i began to read and learn and collect everything about great white sharks,,,,, and now i love them,,,, i think they are the worlds most perfect creature still after millions of year in evolution, it is so perfect for its purpose. i did a tatto of it on my shoulder, and now i am going to do the jaws picture from the movie on my hip... quite qrazy, and i also want to dive with them, i got a diving certifikate when i became 30. my dream is to dive and see them at south africa ,,,,

Sharkman's Comment: Hi Maria. Thanks for your comments and I hope that you can make your dream come true. How about sending me pictures of your tattoos?

Comments: Alex, I love this site. I too have been fascinated by sharks since about age 8. I've even been diving with sharks while in the US Navy. Everything in my office either deals with weather or sharks. Toys, pens, staplers, books, video, you name it, it's here. My nickname in high school, ironically, was "Sharkman." It's so good to know there are others out there who are trying to preserve sharks and their rights as natural beings. People see my shark tattoos and ask about sharks, so I send them here. Maybe they will understand where it is we are coming from. G'Day to you, and happy diving.

Sharkman's Comment: Hi Thomas. Thanks for your entry and for passing on my site. How about sending me a picture of your tattoo?

Comments: Hi, Alex

I stumbled across your website by clicking on a link from a shark forum. I must say, your site is very, very interesting. Well presented and most educational.

I'm very impressed.

I must admit; I'm very curious to know your thoughts on Carcharocles Megalodon. Thanks...

Sharkman's Comment: Hi Dac. Glad you dropped in. With reference to Megalodon, whilst knowing that it has been extinct for millions of years, I still hope that maybe one day, by some sort of miracle of nature, this magnificent creature will show up.... who knows...... new discoveries happen every day!!

Comments: This site is awesome, I was looking to get another shark tat (mine I got when I turned 18, now he's 4 yrs old and needs a friend) so I was cruzin the web for ideas. Wow.

My love affair with sharks started when I was 5, I snuck into the loungeroom and watched jaws (no one knew I was there), I loved that movie, I cried my eyes out when the shark died though. Ever since then it has been my dream to become a shark researcher, I'm in my 3rd year at uni studying to do just that.

My first up-close-and-personal experience with a shark (I'm not talking about at aquariums) was when I was 15, bodyboarding on the NSW south coast. I was waiting for a good wave to ride in and felt something beneath me, I'm not sure what species he was (though he was definatly male, I saw the claspers), I'd say he was just under 2 metres long, he was a beauty!
I'm not going to say I wasn't scared, I was very nervous! But he showed only curiosity, no aggression, so I figured I was safe. That basically sealed the whole love of sharks thing for me, it is my dream to swim with a shark again.

I'll e-mail a pic of my tat when I get a good one, I'll defiantly return here!!!!!!

!Thanx Sharkman!
Amelise

Sharkman's Comment: Thanks Amelise, for your comments and for sharing your story. I hope that you will have many more shark encounters. Looking forward to seeing your tattoo.

Comments: I´ve got to tell you man this is THE greatest shark site I´ve ever seen. This really feels like deja vu to me because :
I´ve been interested in sharks for about 18 years and I´m known as "SHARKMAN" to my friends.
Strange coincidence or what?

Keep up the good work my friend !
