  2. What's the deal with kissing sharks?

    A sort of "swim with Dolphins" experience for the extreme sport brigade?

  3. After "Don't forget the breathe", the second rule of SCUBA diving is "Don't tease the wildlife".

    Frankly, if I ever dived with anyone I saw doing something like that, and he was a fellow PADI professional, he could expect to be on a report.

    Unforgiveable - he's potentially responsible for the safety of other divers with him and he makes himself a victim AND sets a bad example - stupid.

    It's almost as if we're only at the stage of feeding the cute bears in US National Parks.

    What a jerk.

  4. Resumably, this is just as bad, then?

  5. Pretty much, yes.
    Just because they're mammals doesn't mean they're not wild and potentially unpredictable.

    IIRC there was a case recently in the UK of a diver prosecuted for, ahem, interacting with dolphins in an inappropriate manner.
