    Been there diving.

    A bunch of us booked Glovers Reef, Belize, for a week of diving (many years ago), they had a house shark that would feed off the kitchen scraps. The shark would greet us as we came back in from diving. We'd roll out of the boat and swim with him to the dock.

    Also, off Isla Mujeres (near Cancun) the nurse sharks wedge themselves under the coral heads and sleep. The water flow through the coral keeps them oxygenated. We made a dive there and petted the nappers.

    But, you just don't get between a shark and food, the result ain't pretty.

        Yipes! Gotta watch them chark during the fall run too, I suppose. I've seen bull chark feeding with their mouths open and their eyes closed. Did I say I hated bull chark?

        Hammerheads are pets by comparison.
