Too cool!

How expensive is it to get there?

I snuck up on a turtle and got a free ride until he tired and needed air. Had a 6m shark swimming over my head when I was working in 39m - no place to hide but I didn't get eaten. A few days later when some of the guys were catching tuna they started bringing up only heads - yup, sharks. So I made a big hook so they could catch one. They brought up several 2.5m to 3.2m sharks until they started bringing up only heads. . . I never saw the big guy again.
